Welcome back! And stop the presses - I know...it has been forEVer since I've done a Foodie Friday! Well, to be honest, it has been forEVer since I've cooked a good meal! Jack is just at an age where it is way hard to get much done since I have to chase after him! Well, when I was walking through Publix for the groceries for the week, they were making this meal - it was delicious AND the card says it is only 20 minutes total time. I almost hugged the woman. I bought all the things I needed to make this and was excited and proud to announce to Brad that I was actually going to cook this week!
Wednesday was the night and I could hardly wait. I hoped that I could make it as deliciously as the woman at Publix. And let me tell you. It did not disappoint! I could have easily eaten all of the food I prepared! And it was so easy! It may have taken me more like 30 minutes, but I'll take it! And I may have given the kids snacks and put the TV on to get it made! Here is the recipe (from the little Publix Aprons recipe card)...
Perfect Panko Chicken w/ Hummus
