Chicken is ugly. It doesn’t look pretty in pictures, unless maybe if it’s fried, then it looks crispy and delicious. I don’t usually eat many fried foods. This chicken isn’t breaded, or deep fried. But it’s delicious. You can use either lemon, lime, or orange citrus juices to create different flavors. Versatility at its finest. Do you have a juice well? I love mine. I probably only use it a couple times a month but it was only $2.99, so it’s okay. Anyways I was talking about how ugly chicken is because I didn’t want to photograph it alone…so I added pretty green veggies to make it look more yummy. In case anyone was wondering I steamed frozen green beans and edamame and placed them on top of a bed of mixed greens. Add chicken and the sauce and you don’t even need a dressing. Really you could add this kind of chicken to any salad you want, or eat it separately from your veggies. Definitely eat some veggies with it though. Enjoy!
