It’s made with the most BASIC ingredients that you already have in your pantry.

The wonderful lemon flavor makes this a great meal to make during Summer time.

The lemon flavor comes from TWO sources:

Lemon juice

Lemon zest

You can even add some shredded rotisserie chicken or some stir fried shrimp in this recipe and make it even more delicious!

I also like to add some herbs to really really enhance the flavor in this meal.
