Back to Normality with McCain and Garlic, Lemon Chicken

After Christmas, it’s been very sluggish here. While the lovely holiday mood is still hanging around, We are trying to get back to normal and trying to have healthy meal at home which is one our New Year resolutions. 

Christmas busy times are now taken over by Normal School (busy) days and quick meals are most wanted.  McCain Back to Normality project has inspired us to cook quick, healthy meals from scratch with some lovely recipes. We loved the and tried it at home. 

We love McCain and trust the brand and there is always something in the freezer to enjoy. French fries and smileys are our favorite and usually accompanies us during movie time over weekend.

Here is a little video of how we cooked Garlic, Lemon Chicken and enjoyed it with McCain Smiles.
