After being on vacation for 6 days, the last thing I want to do is come home from work and cook. This is why I LOVE batch cooking. 1 night, 1 hour- meals for the next 4 days –sounds pretty awesome to me! Tried this amazing chicken recipe I found at goodlifeeats.com, a few slight modifications and BOOM the perfect healthy meal for anyone!
