Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
