Easy Lemon Chicken
You’ll never guess how quickly this crisp, tender chicken comes together with just a handful of ingredients!
I don’t know about you guys but five ingredient dishes are my absolute favorite. They usually require pantry staples so I can skip the emergency grocery run and get right to cooking. And it’s definitely an added bonus when you can make it in less than 30 minutes.
This lemon chicken is exactly that – it takes just 5 additional ingredients, most of which can be found right in your pantry. And with Just BARE® fresh boneless skinless chicken breast fillets, this dish comes together so quickly in just 20 minutes, perfect for those busy weeknights!
It’s just a simple chicken breading with Italian bread crumbs and fresh lemon zest, which then gets cooked to absolute crisp perfection. You also can’t forget the fresh lemon zest garnish for that extra lemon pizzazz!
