My family’s favourite – Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs. Found this online a couple of years ago and added this immediately to my family’s favourite rotation list. We enjoy this over steamed rice or if you want to stick to low-carb or keto, this is excellent over cauliflower rice or salad. And this recipe gets easier every time.
