Chicken has an easy way of tasting, well, flavorless. It’s a bad rap and let me be the first to tell you, you don’t have to eat boring, flavorless chicken any longer. By adding a few layers of oil, seasoning, and bright lemons, you can give any chicken a whole lot of flavor without a whole lot of effort.

This quick and easy baked lemon chicken recipe requires a pyrex and some foil. Entirely made in the oven, you can whip up another dish, take care of the kids, or get some of your sides prepped for your weekly meal prep. It takes about 5 minutes to make and about 45 minutes to bake.
