Cathy Eddy is a member of the Silver Fern Board of Advisors, strategic advisor to Silver Fern, and Founder & Former President, Health Plan Alliance.

For Silver Fern’s What’s on My Plate Series, Cathy shared one of her own recipes for a favorite dish: Lemon Dill Chicken.

Cathy shared a bit about why this recipe was special to her. “I put together this recipe about 15 years ago with two of my favorite flavors – lemon and dill. It is easy and quick. I share it a lot with young cooks as an easy dish that can be served hot and then if you have any left over, it is great cut up on salads.”

This dish is an easy week-night option and can be served atop greens, alongside a power grain like quinoa or farro, or accompanied by some lovely roasted vegetables.
