Disneyland Food & Wine: Lemon Pepper Chicken with High Protein Ranch Dip
While I wish I was in California for Disneyland’s Food & Wine, we are bringing that magic into the kitchen by creating a spin on one of the featured recipes at this year’s festival.
I shared this recipe as a part of my “What to Eat Wednesday” series on Instagram, which is my recurring recipe series helping you find quick and easy meals to make when the age old question of “what’s for dinner” comes up!
