This Chicken with Lemon and Garlic Sauce is a surprising combination of sweet, sour and tangy. If you want to please mom this weekend (whether or not is Mothers' Day where you live) you definitely have to try it. 

To make it more interesting I paired it with sweet potatoes, carrots, and pineapple for a one-step meal. Easy and absolutely scrumptious.

For this recipe, I used World Harbors Lemon Pepper and Garlic Marinade.
