Lemon and garlic chicken
I found the basis of this recipe on Cooking classy and changed it a bit and though not exactly calorie friendly- it is now allergy friendly and the taste super-good. We had this one summer evening last week with sliced pan fried zucchini mixed with quinoa, but a salad would work just as well.

Good to know
If you are having issues with fresh garlic- substitute the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp garlic oil. The taste will be just as nice. You can also add additional spices such as ginger, harissa and chipotle. Serve with pan-fried slices of zucchini mixed with cooked quinoa, spring- onion and parsley. sort of a pan mix. or a couscous if you can. In our kitchen the plastic bags are re-used for the smelly leftover trash like the packaging for fish or chicken, so at least a double use. Please feel free to mix in a bowl instead.
