"The acidity from the lemons in this dish makes a wonderful marinade and helps make the chicken beautifully tender. Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine. Time does not include marinating."

Oh. My. Goodness! When I saw this recipe, I thought that it sounded pretty good - what I didn't expect was how nice it turned out. The taste is very bright and the lemon is oh so amazing. The only red pepper I have growing is a Bishop's Cap, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks English Rose for an awesome recipe.
