Work was rough today.ย My students were having rough days, I wasn’t feeling well, and we ended up having a lock in because of an armed robbery at a bank down the street.ย The lock in had everyone in a panic so the entire day was just stressful.ย Needless to say, the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook a complicated meal.
Whenever this happens I usually either make pasta or a salad with protein.ย I had chicken defrosting in the refrigerator so chicken it was.ย I usually grill or bake my chicken but after a stressful day I wanted my chicken fried so I made boneless BBQ chicken wings out of chicken breasts.ย I fried them up, tossed them with an easy homemade BBQ sauce, and served them over fresh greens with ranch dressing.ย Fresh, easy, and totally tasty!
