Easy to make and the most delicious Lemon and Herb Chicken. The marinade with fresh lemon juice and zest, herbs and garlic makes moist, flavorful and the BEST chicken. This simple chicken recipe is healthy too.
Don’t you just love easy recipes that are loaded with flavor and are so versatile too? I know I do! This Lemon Herb and Chicken recipe is one I make over and over again.
Serve the bite sized marinated chicken with my Basil Hummus or Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing for a fun lunch or dinner. Toss the sauteed chicken with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers for a refreshing salad. Tuck into the lemony chicken into warm tortillas with shredded cabbage and my tasty Pico de Gallo for an easy dinner with friends. The possibilities are endless!
