Chef’s Pro Tips

Use a salt-free herb rub; the lemon and herbs keep flavor bright.
Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with steamed green beans or roasted asparagus and a simple lemon yogurt sauce for extra color and moisture.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of broth if dry.
