Made this for dinner tonight and it was delish!! I subbed red onion for shallots (as that’s what I had on-hand) and added some English Cucumber and Tomato for some extra veggies.
The dressing is fabulous and I’ll use it on so many other dishes!
The chicken seasoning was perfect, too! Cooked mine in the air fryer (too hot to turn the oven on haha!) and it was great!
10/10 – will definitely make again!
This was Just so dang delicious! My family loved this recipe and it was a breeze to put together.
Yum!
