“Weeknight Chicken”

For when you just finished working,  sitting in traffic, and your stomach is growling– don’t let the lack of a real name fool you; this is exactly what you need after work.

Even I don’t have the energy to come up with intricate meals everyday, so these are the types of quick ideas I make when it’s getting late, or I’m short on time. There’s barely any prep, but combine the ingredients like this,  and you’ll get plenty of flavor.
