So I decided to make them for dinner tonite and was really impressed at how quick and delicious this meal is – it’s a great recipe to add to your weeknight rotation since it’s such an easy, tasty dish to make.

And since I snapped a new photo, I thought for sure it was worth sharing again:).

(Feel free to read on to hear what I had to say about this dish three plus years ago)…
