Lemon, Artichoke Herbed Chicken
This is a quick and simple meal with wonderful fresh flavors from the garden. It utilizes the fresh Meyers Lemons of the season with Italian Parsley and Chives from the Herb garden. You will need a good bunch or handful of both Italian Parsley and Chives, washed and chopped. Also, you will need three Meyers Lemons, zest two, juicing after zesting, and cut the third into rings.
