Baked Lemon Chicken In Under 45 Minutes Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Baked lemon chicken is a super quick and easy recipe that uses just four ingredients. Lemon is a perfect complement to chicken because its sweet tartness contrasts with the tender, mild nuttiness of the meat. The lemon also helps tenderize the chicken. The acid in the fruit helps break down some of the protein in the meat. Don't marinate the chicken too long, or it can become mushy or too soft.
