Easy Breezy Country GURL Chicken!

I live in the country. 

I'm a girl.

This Country Gurl Chicken is a no brainer. 


The recipe is easy and breezy just like living out in the country.


Every once and a while I miss living just outside of Chicago. 


Here are the things I miss the most:


1. My sister


2. My friends


3. Walking to the grocery store.  

If I want to walk to the store here I have to pack for a two week treck there and back. Yeah, not happening.


That's another great thing about this Country Gurl Chicken recipe. Everything you need you most likely already have in your refriderator or cupboard. 

No journey to the store necessary.

When I moved here (to the middle of Flathead Valley Montana almost 2 years ago) everyone said, "Really? She's coming here from Chicago? How will she entertain herself? It's really quiet here?"

I think most figured I wouldn't last and I'd end up back in Chicago.


Well, you know what happened?

I fell in love.

No not like you are thinking, I fell in love with the mountains first. They had me at purple mountain majesty. 

Then I fell in love with the quiet easy breezy way of living out here.

I switched my stilleto's for flip flops and boots. 

Okay, They still have a little heel. A gurl's gotta be a gurl.. you know?

And I swapped my million ingredient meals for simple, delicious, and nutritious ones like this Country Gurl Chicken.

This chicken is amazing. It shreds like pulled chicken, but has that sweet bright taste of summertime fresh tomatoes!


Enjoy this Easy Breezy Country Gurl Chicken!
