Lemon Garlic Chicken
Lemon Garlic Chicken brings bright citrus and savory garlic together over a buttery sear, yielding juicy chicken with a tangy, aromatic pan sauce. It tastes fresh and punchy, with a lightly crisp exterior and plenty of lemony drippings to spoon over each piece. Ideal for busy weeknights and easy to pair with rice, greens, or roasted vegetables.
