My husband is in Medical School right now and is HUGE into eating healthy. He is always helping me find new meals and telling me facts about being healthy that he learns from school.
This is a recipe that my husband Ammon found and it is delicious. It has quickly become a family favorite at our house, and my little kids gobble it up in seconds.
It has so much flavor to it, and the chicken is so tender and juicy.

what could i serve with this recipe?

By the time I am finished making the main dish, I am almost exhausted. I don’t even want to have to think about side dishes. However, we do have a few simple recommendations for you.

They would taste amazing with this chicken, and pair perfectly. Here is what we recommend:

–Lemon Zoodles: You could serve these as a side dish, or even serve the chicken over it. They would both be delicious.

–Easy Southwest Salad: This is one of my favorite salads, because it’s easy to throw together and has so much delicious flavor to it.

-Creamed Corn: Our Slow Cooker Creamed Corn is a dinner staple. It goes with just about anything.
