I recently subscribed to allrecipes.com for their daily recipe delivery and I received this one about a week ago. I'm glad that we gave it a go because it was delicious!
Please take a look at the recipe - it was very easy to prepare.

I also wanted to take a moment to talk about chicken. More to the point....the quality of chicken that I buy.
We go to Silvana Meats every 1-2 months to stock up on pork and beef along with whole fryer chickens. Any realist would understand that you don't always want or need to cook an entire chicken. Sometimes you just want some thighs for the grill or a few breasts for dinners like the one described above.
I have been researching chicken and found a good choice for local chicken. Draper Valley Farms is based out of Mt. Vernon WA and they have been in business since 1935.
The chickens at Draper Valley Farms are raised without the use of antibiotics and raised with excellent poultry husbandry practices. Chickens are grown in spacious housing with plenty of natural sunlight and fresh air and have sufficient room to move about the entire house. They are Free-Range, given outdoor access which helps contribute to a stress-free living environment. Most importantly they are not given antibiotics, hormones, and no preservatives are used.
Draper Valley utilizes 29 local farmers to raise their chickens and they have a hands on approach with all of them.
Below is an article by the Skagit Valley Co-op describing the practices at Draper Valley.

Locally you can find their products at Haggen and Top Foods among other grocers and co-op locations.
Where did I find the local ingredients?
