My husband (the non-dialysis one of us) enjoyed this so much that he had 4 pieces by himself! I added a little more herbs to the meat (Mrs. Dash Spicy mix) during the cooking. I try to add a little more flavor since my husband is also eating with me. But this recipe was definitely a winner and is now part of our weekly menu.
