About Lemon and garlic chicken

Lemon and Garlic Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, featuring tender, juicy chicken marinated or cooked with fresh lemon juice, aromatic garlic, olive oil, and a blend of herbs like thyme or oregano. This dish is celebrated for its simplicity and vibrant flavor profile. Nutritionally, lemon and garlic chicken is rich in lean protein, making it an excellent option for muscle repair and maintenance. Garlic offers antioxidant properties and supports cardiovascular health, while lemon provides a vitamin C boost to enhance immunity. Using olive oil instead of other fats ensures healthy monounsaturated fats that benefit heart health.
