Lemon Pepper Chicken with Garlic

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

WITH GARLIC

The flavor in this fast and easy recipe will stun your guests. Justin said “It was the best chicken he’s ever had”. Serve with rice or pasta so you can enjoy all of the sauce.

Serves 4

4 boneless chicken breasts

1 stick butter melted

2 Heaping Tbsp. minced garlic

3 Tbsp. lemon juice (I used 5 TBLS, fresh lemon juice)

½ cup Italian Bread crumbs

½ cup fresh ground Parmesan

¾ tsp. Thyme (important)

Lemon Pepper to taste

Mix the bread crumbs and parmesan in a large bag. Shake the chicken in it to coat. Save the extra crumbs.

Melt the butter in a baking dish. Add the Garlic, Thyme, and lemon juice. Mix it up.

Lightly lay each breast on its front to get moist in the butter mixture to get it moist then flip over in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs to recoat. Shake some Lemon Pepper on top.

Bake uncovered for 40 min. @ 400. Spoon some of the left over liquid over the cooked chicken, and over your accompanying side dish. The person I got this recipe from prefers a type of rice, like pilaf or brown. I prefer my Lemon Linguine.
