Making Chicken Great Again
This is a super simple dinner that has minimal clean up. If you would like to add to the look of the dish, thinly slice lemons and place on top of chicken. When the cooking is complete open the foil packs and broil the lemon and chicken to give a beautiful brown on the lemon.
