I think lemon and garlic go fabulous with chicken and this dish will not disappoint. It’s elegant enough for company, but yet quite easy enough for a weeknight dinner. This recipe is also great for those watching their weight as it uses very little oil, but yet it doesn’t sacrifice any flavor. Serve it with a nice tossed salad and some steamed rice and fresh vegetables and you have got yourself a great meal. Pair it with your favorite Pinot Grigio.
