Anyone else tired of the same boring dinner recipes? I need an easy chicken dinner but I’m tired of the same boring chicken.
I’m so tired of making the same chicken dinner! So I set out to create something new for anyone else that’s trying to make a quick and easy dinner with boneless, skinless chicken.
My qualifications were it had to be:
- quick
- family-friendly
- pantry-friendly
- inexpensive
- different enough to feel exciting
I tried a few different chicken recipes from the top bloggers but they ended up laborious, flavorless or kind of dry. I hate dry chicken. Which meant, I had added a new category to my checklist, cannot be dry! And my friends, after months of testing I ended up back at an old, lost recipe from our newlywed years. You are going to be OBSESSED!
