I am a meal planner and every week I check the weather before I plan my meals especially if we are planning to grill outdoors. That is exactly what I did with this Citrus Herb Chicken, we had planned to grill out, and the weather went crazy, it was pouring rain. Sometimes that is how we get a new recipe, by an unplanned event. This recipe became a "Rainy Day" recipe that we will enjoy rain or shine in the future.

    1. Hi JRE,
      For the day I made this when it rained, I had 4 bone in skinless chicken breast. I have made it with thighs, and a whole chicken, it really works with any of those.The roasting temperature would not change for the large bone in breast, thighs, or the whole chicken. If you use those little frozen skinless chicken breast, I would reduce the cooking time to 30 to 45 minutes.

      Thanks so much for stopping by today and enjoy the recipe!
      Have a great day!
      Miz Helen
