Another entry for the "I got home late, but still want a great meal" category. You can make this faster than it would take to go out and get take-out. And it's delicious. This one is for 2, but can very easily be doubled.

We love this! We've made it several times and have to double it so there are enough for leftovers.

This recipe was surprisingly good! I didn't care for it much at first, but as I continued eating, it really grew on me. Thanks for a quick, simple recipe.
