Mediterranean Chicken with Onions and Leeks

I feel like a big ball of positive energy today.  You know those days where you just wake up happy? Today was one of those days for me.  And I realized, this is a positive cycle.  Me being happy will lead to higher productivity and people liking me better, which will in turn result in better outcomes, better essays, work, relations with other people, which would make me happier.  It's like a big multiplier effect of happiness.  And happy people make better food!

So ok, happy food resulting from a happy state of mind.  Chicken and leeks.  I've been eating more meat, it's been difficult to fight the carnivorous urge lately.  I like chicken, it's one of those meats that everyone likes.  It is healthy and it is cheap.  Chicken thighs - very cheap.  All about the budget and the diet lately as a college student.
