The chicken- here’s a funny animal…They are such a part of our lives and we hardly give credit to this quirky bird. From the farm wake up call for breakfast to lunch and dinner, chickens are part of our many  daily foods.  

Our families are fortunate to have fresh farm eggs weekly from a friend. We love the chickens when we go to pick up the eggs. The loud clucking, pecking, wings flapping, the webbed feet scurrying always makes us laugh!

Who doesn’t love chicken? We have found that chicken is one of those go-to meat proteins most everyone will agree on. This recipe is perfect for a busy evening when supper is needed quickly, but also when company is coming! …And we promise even the kids might be more willing to try the “green” veggie.
