Lemony Baked Chicken

With fresh herbs, white wine and tangy lemon juice this is a recipe to use both on chicken and fish.  It's so easy to throw together and pop into the oven and ready in well under an hour.  Oh and did I mention, it's healthy too!  Perfect to pair with Escarole & Cannellini Beans with Parmesan & Hazelnut Crust.
