Plate beautifully together and serve with a smile... you're serving a wonderfully delicious and very healthy meal!
P.S. those onions are so amazingly good ... Joe and I fought over them!
I LOVE this chicken recipe. It is SO SO yummy. Ellie and even Jacob asked for more (ok, so I gave them each four bites the first go round). And since Aldi was out of asparagus when I went in my whirlwind trip on Sunday, I had to substitute green beans, but my girls love green beans, and so long as I serve them "PLAIN", Jacob will eat them too. A most welcomed surprise as everyone joined the clean plate club! We celebrated with Apple Crisp ... so easy in the microwave!
ReplyDeleteLemon chicken dinner loaded with protein, omega 3's, vitamins, and really inexpensive. When my neice Amanda found out it was lemon chicken night, she insisted on staying, and licked her plate clean. For fun, i priced this meal out at a popular, and very moderately priced rest in the chicagoland, and it came in at $14.95 for one serving.
