Lemon Panko Chicken

It has been a bit quiet here at Adventures in the Kitchen. I recently went through a transition from my job. I am excited and dreaming about what the future holds. With Easter this week I have a few recipes to share this week that might be a good addition to your meal.

This Lemon Panko Chicken was a nice surprise. I love the tangy crunch and think kids will like it too. Lemons say spring and add a brightness and new twist to the recipe. I served this on a bed of arugula tossed with a lemon vinaigrette.

This weekend I held my first Adventures In the Kitchen for kids cooking class in a long time. It was so much fun. Here is a little teaser. Stay tuned for a post showing all the fun we had.
