These drummers are delicious as written and easy to customize. I love them with fresh thyme (sauteed with the garlic instead of the parsley, for example. I never garnish it. I do season them with different salted seasoning mixes (greek or adobo for example and let it marinate for a few hours.Sometimes I omit the pepper and use lime instead of lemons. Watch the amount of lime or lemon juice though. On one occasion one particular lime had a lot of juice and it was a little too much. I now sometimes omit it altogether and only use the zest. Last night I steamed some baby brocolli (al dente and combined it with the chicken at the last minute. It was awesome. Thanks Rachel!

This was absolutely delish!! My children couldn't get enough. The only thing I would change, is make a double batch. I love that it's really easy too. :
