Linda's lemony baked chicken

Here is my recipe for great baked chicken

Preheat oven 375 degrees

Makes 2 servings

2 chicken breast on the bone, skin on
2 lemons
1 teaspoon salt, preferrably sea salt or kosher
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoon olive oil

Place chicken in oven safe dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray

in a small bowl place the salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic, and zest of both lemons; mix until blended

juice 1 1/2 lemons; pour over chicken breast

slice 1/2 of a lemon into 4 slice

take 1 tablespoon of seasoning mix for each chicken breast place under the skin, then place 2 slices of lemon on top of the seasoning under the skin.

Any extra seasoning can be sprinkled evenly over top of chicken, then drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of olive oil each.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, after 30 minutes uncover and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. (Total baking time will depend on size of chicken, internal temp should be 170 degrees). Remove from oven, cover with foil and rest meat for 10-15 minutes.

Hint: Remove the lemon slices before serving or warn your dinner guests to remove.

This is great served with rosemary garlic roasted red potatoes.

New Blog

Hello Everyone,

I have started another blog; this one is travel journal. I will include reviews of hotels and restaurants along with things to do and see in the areas where my husband and I travel. I may throw in a travel tip or two that we learn along the way. Take a look, who knows you may find something interesting and new.

Well, Hello, everyone,

It has been a while since I posted anything. I started a new job in mid-May and here it is now the 4th of July. The new job seemed exciting at first, maybe just because it was a job. The first three weeks were very tough, tears and torture. It has gotten better and I seem to be adjusting to it. The pay is good and the benefits are better than my last job, so I can't fuss to much.

4th of July weekend was spent with my wonderful husband. We went to Saratoga for a concert, lunch in Cooperstown with a visit to our favorite cider mill, Fly Creek, then a relaxing evening at Vernon Downs Casino. He has a few more very deserved days off to relax. It was a great weekend.

I have reconnected with an old college friend through Facebook, she joined the Facebook revolution. It is a great way to reconnect with old friends and maybe make some new friends.

I have my own computer now, my husband and I had previously shared one laptop. Now he has the mac and I have the pc.

That's all for now.

Linda
