Sumac & Almond Chicken w. Flat Bread

A Midweek Miracle. 

This was the result of a uninspired kitchen moment, a staring at the contents of the fridge for almost an hour blankly type of deal. 

Grabbing everything at once, throwing them in a pan/bowl/skillet serving some bread on the side and calling it a meal that miraculously turns out fucking awesomely. 

Oh praise thee kitchen gods.
