What's for Dinner?

Fast Draft progress: Wrote 8 pages yesterday. Not my goal, exactly, but considering I felt like something that had been run over a few times, I'm pleased.

Anyhew, I made this chicken recipe last night for dinner. It's from last month's Cooking Light and man is it ever good. No, not good. DELICIOUS. My little girlie loved it too. I served it with warm pita bread.
