This lemon chicken recipe is the best; it is really easy to make and the chicken is so moist it will fall off the bone. You only need a few ingredients to serve this fabulous satisfying meal. You can use either fresh or dried herbs in this recipe, I personally prefer fresh.
You can cook it in a slow cooker and then grill it for about 15 minutes to brown or cook it in the oven. However you decide to cook it, you won’t be disappointed.
I hope you enjoy this lemon chicken recipe.
