Tips:

Mise en place: Prepare all your ingredients and equipment before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons will give your chicken a brighter, more flavorful taste.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
Sear the chicken well: Searing the chicken will help to lock in the juices and give it a nice golden brown color.
Simmer the chicken gently: Do not boil the chicken, as this will make it tough. Simmer the chicken gently over low heat until it is cooked through.
Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chicken before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Provencal Lemon Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon, garlic, and herbs gives the chicken a bright and flavorful taste. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
