If you’ve read A Southern Soul for any amount of time you know how much I love lemons. Whether I’m baking, making fresh salad dressing, or grilling, I just adore that citrus kick that comes from using fresh lemons.
This simple recipe has become one of my “every other week” must make dishes. Most of the time I make a double batch which means we enjoy the chicken with fresh veggies for dinner and then I use the extra for chicken salad, sandwiches or in pasta. Simple, quick and packed with flavor…so simple and oh, so good! When you’ve got a good recipe that you can depend on, you just find extra ways to use it and this one fits the bill.
