The recipe I am going to share today is a simple recipe but incredibly delicious. It is of lemon chicken. You can make this at your home easily.
Lemon chicken is one of the easiest recipes among other chicken recipes. You must be wondering; we can even put lemon on the chicken rather than adding it while cooking. Obviously, you can, but adding it into the chicken will infuse more flavor to it. It will also help in keeping the chicken moist.
To make lemon chicken, marinate the chicken with lemon juice, salt, lemon pepper, basil, oregano, and olive oil. Seal the packet and place it in the fridge. Cook this chicken on a medium-high flame in a skillet. Cook until the chicken becomes tender. Your chicken is ready to serve.
