Farm Fresh Garlic Lemon Chicken Skillet

Baby, it’s cold outside and I’m totally craving comfort food!  We often make our resolutions to eat healthier in January, but I find that it is the toughest time of year.  With bitter cold and often overcast days, my body doesn’t desire smoothies and salads.  Do you have the same problem?

To compromise, I turn to some of my favorite farm fresh skillet recipes like Garlic Lemon Chicken that utilize seasonal produce.  This style of cooking offers amazing fresh flavors and a comfort food appeal but still keeps you on track with your healthy eating goals.
