Engagement Chicken

I was browsing the web and happened to hear about a recipe that was being passed around with the prospect that one would get proposed to after making this dish. I’m already happily married, but the idea that this dish is so good one would have to become engaged shortly after boasts a pretty high claim. Of course, I had to try the dish out myself to see how good it was.

Now I found the original recipe off Glamour. Honestly, it sounded pretty boring. I’m not sure why anyone would get excited over it. However, I did happen to find another blogger who had altered the recipe into something I did have to try.

The dish was really good and I loved the flavor the orange brought. My husband said it was “super tasty” so I guess it passes!
