Okay, I need to write an SEO-optimized description for this Mediterranean Lemon Chicken recipe that's under 150 characters. Let me see... The user wants it to be concise but informative.

First, the dish is a chicken dish with lemon and herbs, so those should definitely be in there. People search for things like "lemon chicken" or "mediterranean recipes." Including words like "perfect," "flavors," "herbs," "garlic," and maybe "exquisite" could attract more clicks.

Also, mentioning "low-carb" might be useful if it's a low-carb dish. That can target specific dietary needs. I should make sure to include keywords that people are likely searching for without making the description too cluttered.

Let me try combining these elements: mention the chicken, the key flavors from lemon and herbs, maybe add some info about being easy or perfect for meals. That should cover it within 150 characters.
