Clean Eating Recipes – Greek Lemon Chicken

Sharing is caring!

I was recently introduced to the concept of clean eating. This Greek Lemon Chicken is a delicious clean eating choice that is easy to make. And my family loved the meal!

 The more I learned, the more I realized that about half of the recipes I was already making would qualify as clean eating recipes. Clean eating means different things to different people, but in it’s simplest form it means eating food with a no additives and with natural ingredients. As I’ve been reviewing my recipes through my new clean eating lens, I have been searching for clean eating recipes with chicken.

Clean Eating Greek Lemon Chicken

If you’re new to clean eating, think of it as eating food that is as close to it’s original, natural state. As my clean eating mentor says, “You should be able to pronounce every ingredient on the label of the product.” 

Greek Lemon Chicken can be grilled or baked in the oven. It’s full of fresh, light flavors that go well with a variety of side dishes. I like to serve it with Clean Eating Potato Pancakes and fresh vegetables.
