Chicken of the Sea

Hello, hello, hello. I have heard through the grape vine that you guys are getting bored of looking at my fennel blog.  I decided that finally I should update you on the food that I have been eating as of recent.  To begin this story at the beginning you should know that I really don't like fish.  Amazingly enough I actually somewhat enjoyed this recipe all things considered.  If you are interested you can find this recipe on the bon appetit website. Without further ado I bring the recipe to you.
