This has been one of those weeks when comfort food, and yummy desserts just make a girl feel so much better! My poor husband has just been so sick, I am trying to do everything in my power to make him feel better, doctors visits, meds, hot apple cider, homemade soup, pampering, the whole 9 yards and then some. The amount of homemade chicken soup was probably large enough to feed a football team, he kind of got tired of eating it after a whole week. So like I always do each week, I planned out all of our dinners…and I had originally planned on having lemon chicken with veggies for one of those meals; I don’t even know why I bother trying to keep a list anymore, especially since I know I am just going to tweak everything about it until it is almost a completely new dish.
For the Lemon Chicken meal, I ended up adding some of my favorite ingredients (mushrooms & artichoke) and stuffed them inside my super easy to make homemade crêpes.
- Lemon Chicken
- ——————–
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ medium onion chopped
