This Lemon Garlic Chicken is the ultimate easy weeknight dinner with just minutes of hands-on prep and 20 minutes of marinating time! With a quick dunk in the lemon, garlic, herb bath, the chicken emerges crazy juicy and layered with complex flavor. You can just cook the chicken (grill or skillet) or I highly suggest baking it with buttery, golden baby potatoes and crisp-tender broccoli spiked with lemon garlic goodness for easy cleanup and a complete meal-in-one! No matter how you serve this easy Lemon Garlic Chicken recipe, everyone will be singing your praises, and licking their plates.
