We interrupt this regularly scheduled study session to bring you this easy chicken dish! But seriously guys, this dual degree grad school crap is already working me over and I’m not even a full month in. So I’ll be brief here…chicken / lemon / asparagus / quinoa / meal prep. Got it?
I love these glass containers! I feel better eating out of them than plastic and the lids are ventable to make microwaving easy. And don’t forget the sauce cups 🙂
