I was looking something a little lighter to make for dinner and when I found this recipe I thought it fit the bill. I wasn’t disappointed! I love the ease of prep for this one and from start to finish it was ready in about 20 minutes. The best part about this meal is that I cooked it all in one skillet. Easy to cook, easy to clean…definitely my kind of meal!
