6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

"My family thought this was really good. I did not have fresh garlic or thyme so I used 1 tbsp garlic powder and 1 tbsp dried thyme. Also, I did not have a fresh lemon on hand, so no lemon zest. How..." See moreever, we found that it had a great lemony flavor without the zest. Very flavorful, but I'm sure it would have been even better with fresh ingredients. Did I forget to mention this recpe is SUPER EASY AND QUICK!! 5 stars!"
