Here is a simple recipe that produces amazing results. Takes less then 30 minutes start to finish. It comes with a jazzy lemon sauce that is bright yet rich…a show stopper!
I strongly prefer chicken thighs for this one, chicken breasts are, well….dry! Stick to the thighs but also note that I prefer boneless skinless thighs.
