One-pan lemony chicken rice
I love anything that can be cooked using just one dish- it makes life so much easier, so I’m often experimenting with one pan wonders. This one was inspired by the fact that my girls seem to love anything which is lemony (such as this lemon and thyme chicken penne and this Lemony chicken and cannellini bean stew). It was such a hit with the girls, and when my husband smelt it he said he hoped we were having it too!
