Easy Lemon Chicken with Caramelized Lemons
"This easy lemon chicken is healthy, ready in 20 minutes, and exploding with bold lemon flavor. If you like lemony dishes, this one is for you because lemon is incorporated a few ways. There's lemon pepper seasoning and I caramelized lemon slices. As they caramelize, the lemon slices release lemon juice into a sauce that's poured over the chicken. Add honey to taste. Fresh parsley and thyme which has lemon undertones complements the chicken perfectly...."
