Lemon Chicken Oregano (Cooking for 2)

Lemon Chicken Oregano (Cooking for 2)
Recipe Tip
Super Chicken
Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
Beyond Lemonade
Lemon juice is very versatile—use it in salad dressings, marinades, and more for a low-calorie burst of fresh flavor. You can extract more juice from a lemon by slicing when at room temperature.

Great Recipe for Healthy Chicken
My husband and I love this recipe, especially since he is not a fan of dried-out chicken. The lemon juice keeps the chicken moist while adding a lot of great flavor. As stated in other reviews, the chicken does need to be cooked longer (25-30 minutes). But a great recipe overall!!

AMAZING!
This is one of our favorite recipes!! It has amazing flavor and is very simple to make. It takes ALOT longer, however, than the recipe calls for. Plan on cooking it for at least 30-35 mins.

This recipe was delicious! I also had to cook it for longer than it called for, but other than that, it was really really good!

YUM!
It was amazing! I had to triple the recipe to feed 6, and had to cook the chicken about 8 minutes longer then it called for, but they all loved it, even the 8 year old. I was very impressed with how this dish turned out. I would recomend it to anyone and everyone. Delicious
