If you’re a LEMON LOVER like me, than this dish is for you. Even if your not, you must give this easy one pot meal a try this summer. Most of my recipes are off the cuff. Often times when I have too much of one item. And on this particular day it was lemons. Lot’s of lemons, and I happened to be drinking wine too. So here it is and it was DELICIOUS. My daughter licked her bowl clean and my son asked to have it again, and he’s a picky eater. So when Luke says it’s good….it’s DAMN GOOD!

Do you think it could work in a Le Creuset pan? My cast iron skillet is so small.

What do you serve as a side dish with the chicken?

The skillet is 12″! I’d say around 2 pounds in thighs.
