  1. I would really like to try this one! It looks really yummy and healthy too. But, I may skip the chicken skin, though.

  5. I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes lately with asparagus as a side to chicken. Weird.

    I guess it’s my subconscious telling me that I need to substitute asparagus for potatoes.

  6. This looks yummy and healthy! Might try it with chicken breast without the skin, just for a healthier option, so I can have dessert after! 😉

    That chicken marinade is really heavy on the garlic. Just the way I like it. Lots of tang there too with the Soy sauce and ginger.
