While speaking to one of my challengers the other day, she asked, “Can you come up with some fun new recipes to try – I’m so sick of chicken and vegetables”.

Girl, preach!

I cannot do the same dang chicken over, and over again – and I’m not even someone who gets overly adventurous with her eating – but when it comes to eating an abundance of chicken, you have to find a way to kick it up a notch. And if you are on the 21 Day Fix, you need to be mindful of the kinds of sauces and marinades that you use. Enter this delicious
