This dish is so easy to make, I only needed help from my mom to crush the garlic and test the chicken for doneness. The sauce cooks with the chicken, and you can use the sauce as dressing for mixed greens to serve with the chicken. SO GOOD! Make enough for leftovers!

I enjoyed wathching Amber having fun as if it a was an activity that she apparently loves to do. Amber has given me an idea for my 8 year old daughter to do things like this. An of course her 12 year old will be assisting her. Thank You Amber for such a great video, you did a great job kiddo!
Thank you, Kes! I hope your daughters have lots of fun cooking AND eating! 😀
Wow its simple. I tried it at home, it was delicious. I used small size chicken breast to marinate for 4 hours in refregerator. Rest of the procedure, i followed you. Thanks for this great Lemon chicken recipe.
Marinating is a great idea. I’m glad you like it!
