    I have never prepared chicken like that. It looks like it would come out moist.

    This sounds like an easy way to feed a family. Plus, it’s light, healthy and perfect for spring. Love that it’s a little spicy, too. 🙂

    We have lots of nights like that! And sometimes when we’re too lazy we just give up and have oatmeal or salad haha. This looks amazing. And really, who can resist “Fiery Lemon- Garlic”?? 🙂 Can’t wait to try this.
