I started introducing chicken thighs (skinless, boneless) to my diet more often since I was getting B-O-R-E-D with the same old breasts 🙂 No, really, the last thing you want is to get bored with your healthy meals- we need to still be excited to cook and eat in order to live healthy! This small addition to my protein intake has had a profound affect. This recipe is fantastic for fresh dinner and then used as leftovers for atop a salad or in a grain bowl the next day.
