My wife and I both loved this! Great combination of spices. We kept it simple and served with Trader Joe's "middle eastern" flatbread and some hummus. My wife cut hers into bite sizes and made a "taco" with it and loved it. We were even able to get this one in on a weeknight! We used 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and so they cooked a little quicker (did 25 minutes instead of 30). Thank you!
