Lemon and Herb Chicken

[David]

This one's for A.J. A nice tangy lemon and herb chicken recipe I'm sure you will enjoy. Easy to make and delicious.

Ingredients:

3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teas. salt

1/3 teas. pepper

1/4 teas. rosemary

1/4 teas. onion powder

1/8 teas. garlic powder

1 teas. oregano

1 big lemon ( washed and cut into 8 pieces )

1/4 cup Italian salad dressing

Method:

Squeeze lemon pieces into a ziplock bag big enough to handle all of the chicken. Add the lemon pieces as well. Add chicken and all ingredients into the bag and squeeze most of the air out and zip shut. Squish the bag around to mix and coat the chicken. Marinate for 1/2 hour.

Note: If you marinate too long your chicken will have too much lemon flavor. Lemons are very strong in flavor so be careful.

Cooking can be done in a few different ways, and here they are:

Baking:

Place chicken in a baking dish ( discard the marinade ) and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Until the juices run clear. Internal temperature at 165 Degrees.

Grilling:

Place chicken on a medium high grill ( discard marinade ) and cook about 4 to 5 minutes a side. You can rotate the chicken a 1/4 turn at about the 2 minute mark per side to get those fancy diamond shaped grill marks. Juices will run clear when cooked through.

Pan Frying:

Pour about a tablespoon of good olive oil into a 12in. preheated skillet ( medium to medium low heat ) and cook about 5 minutes a side or until the juices run clear.

I had some wild rice with mine and a salad... Pretty tasty! I hope you will like this ass much as I do.
