Easiest Margarita Chicken Recipe
It takes only 20 minutes to bring this low calorie dish at the dinner table!
Cracklingchicken andSteak trays Clutter the menus of almost all the great restaurants of the country chain, testify to the lasting popularity of molten meat and cheese. We can not hit people like that - that would not be? It's chicken and melted cheese-yum! But we are problematic with the fact that these salty stoves rarely contain less than 1,000 calories, whatever those holding the spatula. That is, unless you are. When you cook your own food, you can control what you have put and the quality of the ingredients, which means you can have the same meal for more than half of the calories, and more often; half the price. Who can chat with that? Our version of Margarita Chicken, a meal you can have on the table in 20 minutes, contains all the same bells and whistles (cheese! Salsa! Sizzle!), Less all the additional calories and dollars dedicated to eat in a restaurant.
