Spicy-Bahamian-Chicken

What I love most about this Spicy Bahamian Chicken Recipe (other than the wave of Caribbean flavors washing over me as I cooked it), would definitely be how easy it is to make.  This one pot recipe takes about 5 minutes to prepare and then its off to the oven.  You don’t have to make this spicy, I just have a preference for spice, especially when it comes to chicken.

The smell of the Bahamian Chicken while it cooks will definitely take over your kitchen and if you are like me, will instantly have you day dreaming of sitting on a white sandy beach drinking an ice cold pina colada!

Did I mention this recipe is healthy?  I can speak from experience (I lost over 60 pounds recently), that that no-carb diet is complete hogwash!  I like to add carbs to my meals, especially if you are working out.  Not only does it help keep you full during the day, but the carbs are needed to provide you with energy.  Nothing is worse than being tired and hungry at the same time – that’s when you will have the biggest inclination to cheat!
