Recipe: Greek Chicken

Ready for the Oven

Wyatt and I had admittedly been in a slump with cooking.  Our lives had us busy and the few nights a week the last few weeks we had to ourselves, we were just not feeling it when it came to fixing dinner.  Now that we're finally settling into a lot less busy schedule, we are making it a point to make cooking (relatively) healthy meals at home a priority.  Over the weekend we made a plan for lunches and dinners for the weekend/week.  Wyatt made a delicious glazed salmon made with citrus zest and brown sugar over the weekend.  Last night I made a super easy and very tasty recipe that I know we'll be making again!

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  The ingredient list was small and part of which we had on hand already.  The prep time was minimal and was an easy prep.  I did use my glass 9 x 13 dish as I don't have a sheet pan like the one described in the recipe below.  One thing we decided last night was that we will try leaving it under the broiler a little longer next time.  All in all it was a success and provided us with enough for lunches!
