Lemon Pepper Chicken with Garlic




Anna will love this when you make it for her, and it's super easy!!!

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)
¾ tsp. Lemon Pepper
Lemon Pepper

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, Lemon Pepper and lemon juice. Mix it up.
Lightly lay each breast on its front into the butter mixture to get it moist then flip over in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs to re-coat.

Bake uncovered for 40 min. @ 400. Spoon some of the left over liquid over the cooked chicken, and over your accompanying side dish. I prefer a type of rice, like pilaf or brown.
