Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe

This post is in partnership with ACME Markets. All opinions are my own.

I love to cook and recipes ready in under thirty minutes are my jam. With two kids that keep me on my toes, that’s pretty much all I got when it comes to time in the kitchen. Keeping with my new year’s resolution to eat out less, that means I my meal plan has plenty of quick and delicious recipes on rotation. Two things that I know I can never go wrong with are lemon and garlic. If I make anything with those ingredients, I usually know it’s going to be a winner with my family. So when I made this Lemon Garlic Chicken served over angel hair pasta, this weekend, I was pretty sure that they’d enjoy it. I didn’t expect was how much they’d love it.

This dish combines everything I love. The fresh taste of lemon,  plenty of garlic flavor  in a light parmesan cream sauce with just a hint of heat thanks to some red pepper flakes. These flavors combine perfectly for deliciousness in every bite you take.

My local Philadelphia area ACME Markets have a new chicken, Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken, exclusively in their stores and when I saw it, I knew I had to give it a try.

Chicken dishes are always a hit in my house and my kids love them, so when I shop, plenty of chicken is always in the shopping cart.

Open Nature Air-Chilled Chicken is a genuinely different chicken. The air chilled chickens are individually processed with purified air for a 100% mouth-watering flavor. The chickens are fed a proprietary flaxseed-based diet. This special diet makes the chicken up to 300% higher in beneficial omega-3’s and 40% lower in cholesterol (compared to conventional chicken).

Here are some other important reasons to love Open Nature chicken :

  • No antibiotics ever
  • Cage free / American Humane Certified
  •  No added hormones (federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in poultry)
  • 100% natural (minimally processed, with no artificial ingredients)
  • Vegetarian fed

I served this lemon garlic chicken over angel hair pasta but it would be delicious over rice too. With just a few ingredients, this dinner can be on your table in under thirty minutes making it a great option for busy nights.
