So I was flipping through a magazine (Better Homes and Gardens) this afternoon while laying in the sun catching rays…. I found a very healthy, and yummy, dinner. I thought I would share. Honestly, this tasted like a chicken giro without the pita. I suppose you could add a pita and make it a lunch, but I am skipping bread products as much as possible these days.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did…
