Lemon Chicken Oregano
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.

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
