Tonight I decided to make a new meal.  I also decided I would be using chicken.  For those people who know me very well I know this might come to you as a shock!  I was a vegetarian for years before I was pregnant with my daughter and since then I'll eat chicken every once in awhile as long as I feel good about the quality of the chicken.  With that being said I haven't cooked with chicken in years! Everything I make at home is 90% vegetarian or I use Fish.  Tonight I bought some organic chicken ( but who really knows where that even comes from - honestly..) and I brought chicken home to my kitchen to cook with for the very first time! Sam, Daniel, and Ella all enjoyed it with me! I am adding this to "must make again" list for dinners!
  

Finish Meal, The chicken had great flavor and with pair perfectly with the Salsa and Whole Grain Rice!
