This is a quick recipe that you can really personalize with your flavor preferences! This one I add an orange zest. It’s subtle, but so great! If you can preplan and get them in a marinade 2 hours before it’s so worth it. As a busy mom I would do school pick up then put them in the marinade then it was ready when I was ready to cook! Try it out and let me know how you like it!
