This lemon chicken recipe is incredibly simple to prepare, but packed full of flavour with lemon zest and juice, garlic, onion, rosemary and olive oil
This is possibly one of my favourite recipes from Keeping it Simple. Largely because it is pretty simple...(I know, I need to expand my adjective vocabulary, but seriously, why say ‘uncomplicated’ ‘straighforward’ ‘effortless’ when you can just say ‘simple’?)
I love all things lemon and of course it is the perfect companion to a good ole roast free range chook! What are you waiting for? Dinner, is served! (And oh-so-well!!)
