I have been trying a few new recipes since I got my new stove last week and but I am only posting the ones that I loved and will for sure be making again and again.

I used the leftover chicken we had from grilling out the other night which was awesome to start with- I don’t have the marinade used for that as one of my friends brought the chicken but I will try to get that from him soon.
