Lemon-Pepper Breaded Chicken over Garden Salad
Lemon-Pepper Breaded Chicken over Garden Salad
Spring has sprung and I am craving light and fresh flavors. Of course a salad was a great way to go. But, this isn’t just any salad. The lemon-pepper chicken is so flavorful it will take you by surprise and the salad has a special ingredient that really makes it pop! Can you guess what it is???
Crisp, crunchy and flavorful. I would tell you I am going to have this for lunch again… However the chicken is apparently so good that it magically disappeared (I am pretty sure I have a suspect).
Hurry and make it while no one is looking!
