ILEA GP is getting geared up for a fun summer cook-a-long! Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd while we all join in to prepare the same meal together from home!
Main dish is below along with what to come prepared with to join in the culinary fun! The recipe is designed to serve two with some left overs, but feel free to adjust based on your needs - the chicken will take approximately 20 minutes to prepare.
