Notes
- This dish was a little time consuming, but keep in mind I cook for 8-10 people everyday, so I have to make double or triple of everything.
- It took me about 30 minutes of prep time and another 30 minutes of cook time. I also served it with mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus
- PRO TIP: Prep the chicken early and place it in the fridge until you are ready to start.
- PRO TIP #2: Cook your sides first and the lemon sauce very last.
