Lemon Dill Chicken – WLS Recipe

If you aren’t tired of grilled chicken in your life, here is a great way to prepare a fresh tasting meal! I have to change up my meals often to keep from over chicken-ing.

Fresh dill is a wonderful ingredient. It has a subtle way of making you feel like your having a relaxing summer-time meal. Perhaps because it makes me think of dill dip. Using it fresh on a clean eating meal is likely a better choice than the creamy dip. (Although, I now have a new idea for Greek yogurt and dill veggie dip!)

Very simple and straight forward meal. I served mine with grilled asparagus and red onion. Feel free to adapt to your veggie liking!
