Notes
Invent Your Recipe: I prepared this dish with a side of bulgur wheat and green beans. If you have never tried bulgur wheat I highly suggest it. It is very filling and healthy and a great alternative to rice.
As always with Invent Your Recipe, change it up and cook your favorite sides with this recipe. This chicken is so delicious I would even recommend serving it all on its own as an appetizer.
Always remember....Create, Taste, and Innovate!
