There are days I get home from work and have NO motivation to cook a fancy meal. I mean, do most busy individuals/ families cook fancy meals every night? Probably not. Don’t get me wrong, I like to ensure that I do one new recipe a week or so. But lots of days I am drained from work and I just want to hit a drive thru! Instead of having fast food, I decided to make something decently healthy that you can throw in the oven. A chicken bake! I like this meal because you throw everything in a dish, into the oven and you’re good to go. I used what I had in my fridge and came up with this bake. I served this with a garden salad but you could add pasta noods or whatever you want as a side!
