Emeril’s Essence Chicken

A quick “Chicken and Rice” dinner. But it didn’t seem like a chicken and rice dinner. Simple, yet TASTY!

I might have a new “weekend” favorite with this one. I try to keep our meals simple on the weekend, spaghetti, tacos, and now this…I’ll save my cooking and blogging energy for the week days!

I marinated this chicken in some canola oil and Emeril’s Essence seasonings. Then froze.

Then thawed. Then baked.

And…

BAM!!!!! (Said with all of Emeril’s gusto!)
