Expert Tips

Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.

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.

I thought this was very good for everyday eating. I prepared it ahead and set it to bake on convection at 350 for 25 minutes. When I came home, dinner was basically done. I served it with microwaved acorn squash and a salad.

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!!
