Italian Lemon Chicken

Italian Lemon Chicken

I like to share food. Well, maybe I’m not necessarily good at sharing food, but rather food ideas. And it’s the ideas that matter, right?! (At least, that’s what I tell myself when subtly move my plate away from my husband’s reach).  You won’t want to share this Italian Lemon Chicken either once you try it.

These little chicken bites are great along side some pesto pasta, sauteed veggies, or as a salad topper.
