Garlic Lemon Chicken
A few years back I visited a Greek friend of mine and there in his home I had this amazing baked chicken dish which tasted like it was dipped in lemon and garlic. I did not ask him the recipe but understood the flavors were built with the help of those two condiments and a little marination time.
Years later I thought of recreating the dish that had some herbs, some veggies and the tangy chicken to go with them. The idea was to make a dish that is tangy, garlicy and has the right amount of herbs to balance the affairs.
So here is my attempt at the dish, interestingly we had some surprise guests that evening who got to taste it. And yes they asked me for the recipe, this prompted me to write it down for the site.
You can tweak the spices used to your liking but I would surely advise you not to miss cumin and garlic powder for the taste. You can also play around with the amount of pepper you want to add to the dish based on the amount of heat you want to generate. I added a very light amount of pepper to ensure that it does not overpower the tangy-garlicky flavor I wanted in my chicken pieces.
Asparagus was a healthy addition, I chose it because it tastes good when you bake them. You can also use other veggies but make sure you do not over bake them, you would want the veggies to be crunchy while you eat soft baked chicken that melts in your mouth.
