First..sorry for the hideous photo..I sooooo need to get a Lowel Ego light. Going outside to use the natural light is just not working for me! It was so humid today that I couldn’t get my camera to stop fogging up!
I am really enjoying Weight Watcher Wednesdays! I know when I am eating whatever I made it will be delicious and nutritious! Again, thanks to my friend Em at The Repressed Pastry Chef for starting WWW!!
I know I am boring and predictable..another chicken dish! Well, we eat a bunch of chicken in my house mainly because that’s what my picky eaters will eat and I can do anything with it!
This dinner is easy as can be to make and an easy clean up(a HUGE bonus for me)!
It has a wonderful thick sauce bursting with garlic flavor that the broccoli soaks right up!

I should learn never to look at your blog when I’m hungry! I LOVE broccoli, I LOVE chicken…I’m sold
I know what you mean about the lighting but that photo isn't hideous at all! Looks & sounds delicious, really.
i see no problem with eating chicken all the time. it’s my go-to meat, for sure. gooood stuff. what’s not good stuff is humidity–damaging cameras and my hair is never appreciated. 🙂
Sounds good to me & we are the same way with chicken at this house.
Perfect combo to keep that waistline in check!! Then I can serve again your killer stuffed strawberries for dessert..
Love this one.
Cheers
