Citrus chicken

Last night for our 'dinner and a movie night' we had citrus chicken and watched The Ex. Both the movie and the dinner fell into the realm of 'ok'.

Ack! Sorry, I just don't think about pics at the right time. I'll put the camera in the kitchen before starting the meal next time - then maybe I'll remember!
