Meyer Lemon Chicken

Meyer lemons can be found in your supermarket now. This is a quick and easy weeknight dinner. You have about 15 minutes of prep time and then you can sit back and let your oven do the work.

Meyer Lemon Chicken

Meyer lemons are thought to be a cross between lemons and mandarin oranges and tend to be on the sweet side. The skins have a deep orange to yellow color.

Making this dish is really easy. Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Thinly slice your meyer lemons, onions and garlic. When the breasts are browned remove from pan. Add the onions and cook for several minutes. Add the garlic (you can omit or use less, we just happen to love garlic). Cook a couple more minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Top with the meyer lemons and thyme. Bake for about 30 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
