This lemon parmesan chicken comes out of the oven so delicious and moist. its a super easy way to get dinner on the table with great flavor and minimal effort.
dinner time should be easy. it should be a time to hang out with your family and catch up on the day. a time to relax and defiantly not a time to stress. this is why this lemon parmesan chicken is one of my favorite meals to make.
this recipe can be done without the marinading portion if you don’t have the time. I have done it with only the mayo topping and it turns out just moist and just as delicious. the marinading just gives it that extra dimension of flavor.
