Sunshine

Have that canister of oats sitting in your pantry? Tired or oatmeal and oatmeal cookies? Use that oatmeal for dinner. With it, bring some sunshine in your life after a long winter.

Spicy Oat Crusted Chicken with Sunshine Salsa

The oats provide a nice coating to the chicken and the fruit based salsa is a perfect complement.

This is really a basic recipe.

Salsa and oranges.

My “oating” station.

Headed to the oven.

Delectable!
