I was trying to pick out what to cook last Friday when I decided to let Justin choose for once. He chose very well! I ended up making Bruschetta Chicken which turned out to be incredibly easy and very delicious! I already had all of the ingredients on hand and decided to use some broccoli that was hiding in the bottom of my veggie drawer before it went bad. This broccoli recipe is my all-time favorite. With it’s crisp texture and lemony and Parmesan flavoring, I’ve converted the most avid broccoli haters into broccoli lovers!
As for the chicken, make it. It’s incredibly easy…I recommend it for anyone who doesn’t feel like too much work but still wants a great meal! Enjoy!
