Lemon and chicken go way back; they're buddies, old friends, exchanging Christmas cards and liking each other's photos on Instagram. Watch their friendship work their magic here, with lemon and herb seasoning covering the entire chicken with yumminess. And some more buddies join the scene: pesto and butter coming together to coat the chicken breast with, well, more yumminess. You and this dinner will be old friends in no time.
