This delicious Zesty Chicken recipe has got to be the best chicken I have had in a long time – moist, tender, and yummy. It is a twist on a recipe I found in an old Simple & Delicious magazine from August 2006. I made it my own with a few tweaks and it is definitely a keeper. We ate it “straight up,” but next time I am thinking about throwing it in a wrap or on a bun with all the toppings and making a sandwich out of it. What do you think?
