This chicken recipe is not only extremely easy to make, it’s also very refreshing. Even though you have to bake it in the oven now, I plan on making this same recipe on the grill to make a wonderful summer recipe too. The lemon and garlic pair so well together and it really has a wonderful flavor. Enjoy… I will!
