Lemon - Herb Chicken With Garlic Mashed Potatoes And Roasted Veggies

This is a easy chicken recipe perfect for lunch.

Love lemon and chicken together, once I had this chicken in a restaurant near my place, loved it so much and this was the inspiration for this dish. I tried this the very next day I had it in restaurant. It turned out so good, we both of us loved it.

The side dishes are also so cool. Loved the garlic mashed potatoes, they are so creamy and satisfying with full flavor. On the other hand roasted veggies are good and healthy. This makes it as a fulfilling meal.
