Lemon Herb Chicken

Quick and simple, our Lemon Herb Chicken will add an elegant twist to dinner. This recipe proves that great taste doesn't require lots of ingredients. Rosemary and lemon brighten up an ordinary chicken breast with a savory yet light and fresh taste.

We suggest marinating the chicken for 30 minutes to one hour, this step tenderizes the chicken and allows the flavors to infuse every bite. Place your chicken in a large zipper bag when you get home from work,and let the flavors soak it.  This recipe uses a grill, but you can certainly use a skillet or even stove top grill pan.
