Beach Street Lemon Chicken (Renewed)

by Jamie

I have a blast from the past to share with you today, dear reader. This Beach Street Lemon Chicken has been one of my families favorite recipes for many years and was one of the first recipes I posted some 5 years ago. That original post has some pretty frightening pictures in it. I wanted to give it a little facelift and bring it to the top of the recipe pile to share with you all, since there were only about 10 of you around reading this blog when Beach Street Lemon Chicken first came to live here. 🙂

Some interesting things for you to know about this fabulous chicken dinner.

It’s light and so refreshing! The chicken sits in a super flavorful marinate (for 1-24 hours) that is loaded with lemon and cajun seasoning. It kind of sounds like a strange mix, but trust me it is wonderful! When you are ready to eat you just cook up the chicken and marinade, boil some pasta and basically mix the two together along with fresh parsley, green onions and parmesan cheese. It’s a wonderful combination!

Give it a try, won’t you?

Serve This With

Roasted Balsamic Glazed Carrots
Whole Wheat Muffins
Easy Caramel Smore Bars

Allow it to come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer away until the chicken is cooked through.

Lemon and chicken, that’s a nice mix. To serve it with “barilla” pasta is a great great idea: they are my preferred ones : ) !

This looks delicious! I have just come to realize how good lemon goes with chicken. I am starting to think it is my favorite flavor combo. Can’t wait to try it. Have you tried this with shrimp? I bet that would be good as well. Thanks for the recipe.

Mary Ann,
Thanks for your question. I believe pinning each recipe is a feature specific to your individual browser. If you have the pinterest extention installed you should be able to pin any picture you see online. Hope this helps!
