Lemon, garlic and chicken are some of my favorite things ever! I am totally LOVING this super simple dinner idea! Pinned!
Curt will LOVE this meal and I’m obsessed because I don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen cooking us dinner. Also in love with that blue dutch oven. Unreal!
Looks tasty. What would you change to use brown rice?
This looks amazing!!!
This recipe was so easy and really delicious, love the lemon flavor! I added some fresh green beans in too! Definitely a make again! 🙂
SO happy you loved!
This reminds me so much of the lemon chicken dish my mother in law makes (minus the copious amounts of oregano that her Greek self can’t help but add). I’m much more into your parsley version 🙂
Nothings beats the lemon and garlic combo. So flavorful and easy! Can’t wait to try this.
This looks so good!!
I made this tonight and used brown rice instead of white. It was SO good and super easy!
So glad you liked!
Instead of rice, can I use quinoa?
I don’t see why not!
Hi Lexi, this is my first visit to your blog and I am glad I have. I love the Idea of one one pan or pot cooking myself,less mess, less cleaning with amazing flavours you have to love it. I will definitely try the lemon garlic chicken dish for the family, (if you don’t mind) i might substitute the rice with pearl couscous. My kitchens ingredient of the month.
Enjoy! Happy you found me!
Would cauliflower rice totally change the way I cook this dish?
Of course I missed your blurb about substitution. Sorry 🙂
wow that looks so good. Think i’m gonna give this a blast tonight. Thanks for sharing.
