I have been looking up “clean” dinners and adding them into our family weeknight meals at home. This one is so tasty and so filling that you don’t feel like you are missing out at all! And bonus that it is a one pot meal.This is also a great first-timers recipe if you have never tried to cook clean. It’s just really easy and uses pretty familiar ingredients so that’s why I’m loving it so much!
