Easy Lemon Chicken 

Feeding my family can at times be a challenge both my husband and myself have food intolerances and two of my kids are quite fussy in their food choices.

I am gluten and lactose intolerant as well as suffering from mild acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome and my husband suffers from severe acid reflux and high blood pressure.

I have had to eliminate flavourings such as garlic and onions as they are major trigger factors. Also salt and pepper. Not to mention countless fruits and vegetables that are triggers for my IBS and our acid reflux issues. 

It doesn’t make cooking easy but I am up for the challenge.

So here is an easy recipe for lemon chicken which yuh can serve with rice, noodles or salad.

500g Chicken Breast 

1/2 cup lemon juice 

3/4 cup cold water
