This dish is simple. When I finished with it I thought it looked too simple and I was worried, but as soon as the flavors combined it was amazing. The simplicity of the actually made it special. The citrus flavor of the lemon when combined with parsley and thyme, gave the garlic buttery sauce true character. I've said it here many times, I love cooking chicken. I love it because you can give it any flavor. Do not overcook the chicken so it left tender and not dry. Also a tip, do not be afraid of the herbs. Put as many fresh parsley and thyme (even garlic) so you can---you'll be asking for more. Also,
Enjoy this with roasted potatoes or green beans on the side.
