Do I have to marinate in a plastic bag?

No, you can always marinate in a shallow dish. Simply whisk the marinade in a mixing bowl, place your chicken in, and pour the marinade right over.

Can this recipe be used with chicken thighs?

Yes it can! You can use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe, or boneless skinless chicken thighs. The cooking time will change slightly, depending on the size and thickness of your thighs. When using skin-on, be sure to render the skin by cooking it directly against the hot pan. This will help crisp it up. Cook with the skin side down first, and then flip to finish.

Can I add vegetables to the skillet?

This same seasoning works great on vegetables as well so you can create an entire dinner in just one skillet. Be sure to make a separate batch of the marinade for vegetables to avoid cross contamination. Vegetables that work well:

Diced red potatoesZucchiniGreen beansAsparagus

Serving Suggestions:

We love lemon chicken with a side of rice pilaf, a good helping of veggies, and always with a dinner roll.  If you liked this recipe, you may be interested in these other easy, and tasty chicken dishes:
