This lemon rosemary chicken recipe is good to serve to your family. I love lemons, and other than that, lemons are healthy. Putting them on dishes makes me feel a bit better when serving it to my family, most especially to my twins. The good thing about my twins is that they appreciate most meals that I serve. So while this dish is a bit lemony, they enjoyed eating it!
Our friend over at This Gal Cooks has this to say about the recipe:
