Gluten-Free Baked Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe

This gluten-free baked honey lemon chicken recipe is so easy to make and is sure to be a hit with the whole family.

My kids favorite take-out is usually orange or lemon chicken. But, with the little man being gluten-free he often can’t eat it because sometimes the ingredients used are not, and so I’ve been trying to make more of their favorite dishes at home. Let’s face it, there’s also the added benefit of the money I’m saving by cooking at home instead of going out.

They absolutely love the orange chicken I make, so recently I decided to try a honey lemon chicken, and it was delicious.

As I mentioned in my last ALDI post, we absolutely love that they offer a gluten-free brand liveGfree® which all of my kids like the taste of. So, I want to share a little about the products, and then I’ve included the recipe down below too.
