I can’t lie and say I made this up all on my own!! I did get this recipe from the FIXATE cookbook by Autumn Calabrese and made it into my own! One ingredient in this recipe has saved me from spending so much time prepping! Rotisserie chicken!! I know it is easy to bake your own chicken, but it is one less thing to worry about! Just be sure you are removing the skin because even though it tastes good, it’s not healthy! Sorry for the let down!

Ok, so let’s get to it!!

• 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan or sea salt
