                         For me Sunday is the day to relax n spend some quality time with kids n hubby, Sunday is also the day where my kids n hubby ask  for different NV foods.....Sometimes, i usually plan my NV-menu on Saturday night n  cook some typical NV-foods with full excitement on Sunday, Sometimes i feel lazy n i won't do it......Yesterday, being a lazy Sunday, without any plans for cooking, with only chicken in hand n with a limited time to cook,  i thought of doing it simple but tasty chicken that can be taken as a snack for kids or side dish for me n my hubby....
