What sounds better than ranch dressing and parmesan cheese combined into one scrumptious dish?! Not a whole lot, that's what. Per usual, I spent my Sunday meal planning, which meant stalking around on Pinterest for easy weeknight meals that I could whip up for Steven and I. We are both incredibly busy during the week, but with the wedding only a short 45 days away (!!), we have found ourselves particularly busy lately. I came across this recipe and it hit all of my requirements: I can count all the ingredients on my fingers, I already had most in my pantry, and less than an hour from start to finish, so I decided to go for it. Definitely a good call on my part!
This chicken recipe is going at the top of my favorites list for so many reasons. There is enough "unhealthiness" involved that the fiance approved, but it still wasn't terribly breaking all my wedding diet rules. Actually, it did break a lot of the wedding diet rules, but I paired it with a side of broccoli and called it a night.
