How to Make Lemon Pepper Chicken

Lemon pepper chicken is relatively quick-to-make dinner entree that goes well with mashed potatoes. The only trick to it is covering the baked chicken twice with lemon juice, and cooking it under foil. The foil ensures the chicken does not dry out.

Things You'll Need

• 1 to 2 lbs. skinless chicken breast
• 1 lemon
• Lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 stick butter
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. ground pepper
• Foil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Wash the chicken and place it in a baking dish.

3. Melt the butter, and add 1/2 cup of water. Pour this over the top of the chicken.

4. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the chicken. Squeeze half of the lemon's juice over the seasoning.

5. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan, pull up the foil, and squeeze the rest of the lemon juice on top of the chicken. Replace the foil, and bake the chicken for another 30 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Goes great with Mashed Potatoes.

• Use Margarine instead of butter if prefered.

• Be sure to cover with foil, this is to ensure that the chicken does not dry out.
