2. Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken 🍋🧈
A zesty, buttery chicken that’s perfect with rice, pasta, or veggies.

💡 Tips:
- For Cajun pasta, add bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
- For lemon garlic chicken, drizzle a little extra lemon at the end for brightness.
- Both recipes pair well with a side of garlic bread or steamed veggies.
If you want, I can also make a slow-cooker version of either of these dishes for an even easier meal 😄.
