I can’t even describe how great it is to eat this Grilled Chicken with Fresh Spring Salad after a hard day of work. It is like a blessing.

You cook this in no time, and then you can just hit play to your favorite show, raise your feet on a chair, and eat this whole plate. And then maybe you fall asleep for a few minutes. Then eat another plate!

It’s spicy, it’s rich in flavor, it’s fresh, and most importantly, it is healthy! Exactly what everyone needs on a stressful day.

A stressful and long day like I had, but in the end a great day, because I’m working on a little something for you guys that really brings me a lot of joy. I’m really, really enthusiastic about it, but, unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything yet. You’ll just have to wait a few more days.

Until then, happy cooking and bon appetite!
