I love everything lemon and who doesn’t love fried food? These lemon chicken breasts taste like they were deep fried and are so lemony in flavor! They are also so easy to make and are ready in under 30 minutes after they marinade in lemon juice. Just because you want to be healthy, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice crispy and delicious food! Enjoy these chicken breasts with a side salad, and maybe a pasta of your choice.
