20-minute Chicken

Til and I recently got a weekend to ourselves at Gwinganna retreat. Despite it only being less than 48 hrs away from the kids it wasn’t lost on us. So grateful to have the opportunity to spend alone time with Til, we were able to finish conversations and have civilised meals together. Having kids is a blessing but I do miss my wife and spending alone time together. We actually spend an enormous amount of time in each others company, when at home, but much of that time we orbit each other whilst tending to the kids and business.

Now to food:

This is a simple and super quick recipe. One that served me well over the years when I'm on the run.
