So last night, I was completely drained after a long day. You know that feeling when you’re starving but can’t even imagine putting in more than minimal effort? Yep, that was me. I craved something comforting and cheesy, but the thought of complicated recipes made me want to crawl into bed with a bag of chips instead.
Ingredients

How to Make It
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces and minced garlic. Cook until the chicken is browned.
