¼ cup lemon juice

4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

3 Tbsp. white wine

1½ tsp. red pepper flakes, crushed

1 tsp. fresh rosemary, minced OR ¼ tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

1½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 medium lemons, halved

Minced chives, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Combine lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, wine, pepper flakes and rosemary in a large shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate up to 3 hours.
