Lemon Herb Chicken

A few simple ingredients and so full of flavour!

Introduction

You can’t have too many roasted chicken recipes! This one is so perfect as a quick weekday meal or a house full of guests – 

Made from simple ingredients you likely have in the house – the flavours blend together so nicely. I always keep chicken thighs in the freezer for quick meals. They are an affordable protein option, cook quickly and are so tender and juicy!
