Want to know one of my secrets to making a healthy homemade dinner in 30 minutes?

Thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  I like to use chicken breasts that are about 1/2 inch thick.  I’ve found that this is the perfect type for quick cooking meals.

I usually stock up on them when we’re at the butcher so that I have some on hand any time I need to make dinner quickly.

Some of my favorite quick and easy dinner ideas using boneless, skinless chicken breasts include this Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken recipe, this Honey Ginger Chicken and this Skillet Balsamic Chicken.

All of these can be made in 30 minutes or less, just like these easy Skillet Lemon Chicken.

This Skillet Lemon Chicken is incredibly flavorful.  The sauce really takes it over the top.  It goes perfectly with rice or my easy Parmesan Orzo and a side of broccoli.
