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.
