We’ll just call this when life gives you lemons… make dinner! Seriously, this is one of my favorite quick and flavorful weeknight meals, packed with the brightness of lemon, the richness of garlic and butter, and a splash of white wine to bring it all together.

I had a bunch of grilled chicken left over from earlier in the week, and I knew this would be the perfect way to give it new life at the table.

Let’s Cook!

• Place chicken in a single layer in a broiler-proof casserole dish.
• Crush garlic in a saucepan, melt butter into garlic.
• Add wine, lemon juice, salt, oregano and pepper.
• Heat until butter is melted. Pour over chicken, coating evenly.
• Place under broiler until fully heated (6-10 minutes).
• Top with lemon wedges and parsley.

Serve over angle hair pasta. Green beans make a perfect side dish.

That’s it, friends! Fifteen minutes from start to finish. And if you’re serving it to guests, they’ll never know it was a quick weeknight dinner.

This recipe is fantastic for using up leftover chicken, but it’s also great with freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken. If you love a little extra brightness, don’t be shy with the lemon wedges at serving!
