Delicious Chicken Recipe

 I don't know about you, but when the weather begins turning warm, the thought of all those heavy comfort foods we've been enjoying all winter starts to turn my stomach. I love to try lighter recipes out in the spring.  ValSoCal posted this recipe a couple weeks ago, and I had to try it. I can't remember how I stumbled across her blog in the first place, but reading it always makes me hungry! This chicken is my new favorite. I served it alongside some roasted asparagus. Yum!


Anyway, the recipe...

The rub.

The meal.
