Easy Chicken Dinner Recipe

Dinnertime can get a little hectic after a long day.  Many nights I am totally unprepared and we have sandwiches for dinner.

To avoid these dinnertime failures, I keep Fresh Chicken ready and in my refrigerator.  Then it is all about the sauce.  We like our chicken moist and drenched in a flavorful sauce or glaze. This way I could eat chicken every night without getting bored.

Barbeque chicken, lemon chicken, spicy chicken, teriyaki chicken, garlic chicken . . . the possibilities are endless.

This Sticky Orange Ginger Chicken will be making a regular appearance in my dinner rotation.  And with the help of Fresh Chicken I’ll be serving my family satisfying, flavorful and nutritious meals instead of boring sandwiches.
