Hands up if going out to eat on Valentine’s Day is actually your worst nightmare? Yep, me too. I would 1000% rather make something completely delicious in the comfort & peace of my own home.
This is the perfect dish for this exact occasion. It’s completely divine, but completely easy ( & not too many dishes involved! )
To elevate this little chicken dinner I paired it with mashed potatoes & roasted asparagus – the perfect special dinner at home pairings!
Happy cooking! xx
