Garlic Lemon Chicken – Bariatric Recipe

I love using lemon in recipes- it’s so refreshing! It is one of those ingredients that has a distinct  “summertime” flavor to it. Like snow cones (sugar free of course) and iced tea (unsweet of course).

I love using lemon pepper on the grill, squirting some lemon in my water, squirting it on fish, or even grilling it before tossing the juice in a salad. This recipe I found on the  Kraft Foods website. If you haven’t spent some time on their website, you need to!
