No one in my family can really claim the creation of this recipe, but we have adopted it as one of our own. My dad found this recipe in one of his South Beach Diet cookbooks and we fell in love with it at the first bite. I love this recipe because it is so simple and yet so delicious. My sister Mindi makes this chicken pretty frequently because her husband loves it. I like to have chips and salsa on the side, but Mindi and her family like to eat it with rice. No matter what you eat it with, this recipe is a keeper and good for those nights when you need to come up with a meal in a short amount of time. Enjoy!
