This lemon garlic chicken has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just thirty minutes. The bright citrus and aromatic garlic create such a delicious flavor without any fussy techniques. What I love most is that chicken breast is packed with lean protein to keep me satisfied, and the whole meal costs just a few dollars to make. You really only need butter, lemon, and garlic to transform simple chicken into something restaurant quality that my family actually asks for by name.
