I have had sooooo many questions about my quarantine mocktail, and I have written this out sooooo many times in response to many, many DM’s that I figured it was more efficient to create a post so that it would have a place to live forever.
This is probably my favorite weeknight chicken dish. I love rice. I love Mediterranean flavors. Sometimes I eat a couple bites of the chicken, sometimes I do chickpeas instead. It’s fast, easy and super tasty. I recently taught this recipe live on a zoom class and I cooked it in real time with all the…
