I had some lemons left from the Lemon Glazed Lemon Muffins, so I thought it would be nice to use them for a chicken dinner. I also needed to use my crock pot, because my son had a hockey game tonight. This recipe worked out perfect. I put it on right before we left for the game, and it was ready when we got home from his victory.
I had planned to call this chicken recipe Lemon Herb Chicken, because I am a big fan of keeping it simple; but then I served it to my family for dinner, and my daughter wanted to call it Green Lemony Yummy Chicken. I decided to compromise and call it Yummy Lemon Herb Chicken. That's fair, right?
I think you are going to like this one. Serve it with some rice and your favorite green vegetable, and you have a well balanced, yummy meal.
