Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken #sundaysupper

Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken

Spring signifies the ending of citrus season in Arizona. The weather is heating up and the fruit needs to be removed from our trees. We literally pick bags and bags of grapefruit and lemons. Since there are so many citrus trees in our neighborhood, many of us set out our extra fruit in front of our homes. This way other neighbors and passerby’s can pick and choose what they want.

Lemon is the theme of this week’s Sunday Supper club. Since chicken is traditionally the norm for our Sunday dinner and lemon pairs so well with it I decided to prepare a family favorite. Leftovers are always great for lunch the next day. Chicken is perfect cold on a salad or sandwich. This time I paired my chicken with roasted lemon fingerling potatoes and steamed green beans. Savor the season by taking the time to enjoy family and friends. xo

*Roasting the lemon slices adds extra flavor and is perfect for garnish.

This week the host of the #SundaySupper Movement   group is Lisa Grant; of  Jersey Girl Cooks, thanks Lisa! Today’s event is all about celebrating spring with the bright and versatile flavors of citrus in recipes.
