BBQ Lemon Chicken

May 25, 2018 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Hello! Happy Friday! Just popping in with a quick recipe for this BBQ lemon chicken that is perfect for your Memorial Day weekend!

I was actually inspired by one of those pre-seasoned chicken breast from Whole Foods. You can certainly buy some pre-seasoned chicken, but this recipe is super simple to put together, so you should definitely give it a shot! 

Its super simple as well — combine your favorite BBQ seasoning (sold in the spice aisle at your grocery store) with a sliced lemon and voila! BBQ Lemon Chicken. The trick is to buy skin-on chicken breasts and put the lemon slices under the skin right next to the meat. This allows the lemon to really penetrate the chicken and gives it great flavor.

I also paired this chicken with a wild rice and asparagus pilaf. Again, super simple and great served hot or at room temperature! Perfect for a picnic lunch or BBQ this weekend. 

So I hope you enjoy this recipe and your weekend is off to a great start! Kory and I are in St Augustine, Florida this weekend hanging out with my parents, so stay tuned for some fun posted on social media! 

XOs, 

Danielle
