Spiced Chicken Breasts

Hello all, Ox here. Sorry I haven't been posting much of late, but I have been quite under-the-weather. No, it wasn't my stomach so, all is well in the kitchen, except for dirty dishes. Have you ever noticed how the dishes never really get done. They all seem to be clean for a max of an hour and then something gets dirtied again. Oh, well, thus is the life of anyone who plans on eating and does the cooking as well!

Here is a recipe I found off of Arcamax. I am trying it tomorrow and it just simply sounds devine, so I thought I would share.
