I made this recipe three times in one week, because I was “testing” it, you see? Actually, I also “forgot” to take photos, so naturally I had to keep making it. Not that I needed an excuse as The Husband was a willing participant. Enthusiastically so. I had chicken mince in the freezer so why not, yes? Folks, this is healthy, easy and yummy. Trifecta!
