Ingredients
2
boneless skinless chicken breasts
1
Tablespoon
olive oil
1-2
teaspoons
lemon pepper
depending on how much you like
2
lemons
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Use a pastry brush to brush olive oil on both sides of the chicken. Coat thoroughly.
Sprinkle lemon pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts before putting them in a 9-inch casserole dish.
Using a knife and cutting board, slice the lemons, and place them on top of the chicken.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked, with the internal temperature reaching 165F.
Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make sure you give the chicken time to rest before serving. This helps the chicken to remain juicy and take on all of the flavors, even after cooking.
Don't over-add the seasoning. Stick with what you are happy with. If you want a bold flavor then add more but add less for a more subtle taste.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is safe to eat before serving (internal temp should be 165F)
The baking time required may change based on the size of your chicken breasts.
