I’m so glad you loved the recipe!! Thank you for letting me know!!
Really loved this recipe! So did my hubby. I added double the garlic and spinach and broccoli so we could have bigger portions and it was awesome. One thing I did was to cook the chicken breast in the air.fryer which allowed less oil and tool less time overall (6bmin per side at 370 degrees). This dish will definitely be a staple in our house.
