Caesar Sheet-Pan Chicken
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + marinating Bake: 30 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
In our area we have an abundance of fresh lemons year-round. When I had a few extra on hand, I put together a quick marinade and ended up with a really tasty sheet-pan chicken meal that had a wonderful burst of flavor. I baked it so I could add potatoes, but you can grill the chicken if you prefer. —Kallee Krong-McCreery, Escondido, California
