Greek Chicken

Good morning, everyone! I am so excited for Thursday! I get to go to Marcella's for the first time ever not to mention being gluten-free. I hear that they have awesome gluten free options and I can't wait to dig into some yummy food. I have been out to eat quite a few times in the last few weeks and I am SICK and TIRED of salads!! Does anyone else have this issue? People really need to give us some more options! Good thing I usually don't go out to eat much. But anyway, just thought I would share a fun recipe today. This chicken is super yummy and good for you, too! Enjoy!
