Lemon Pepper Chicken

I know, I know.  It's been a while. Life is keeping me busy. I have tons of blog posts, but they're all up in my head.  I'm sorry you can't read them; maybe I'll get back here soon.  But for now, here is a really yummy recipe that I've been making lately, and my family is loving it; thought I'd share it with you.

Ingredients:

5-6 garlic cloves, minced

juice from 2 medium lemons

2 tbs lemon pepper seasoning

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp dried oregano

4 tbs EVOO

2 lbs chicken tenders (I get the organic packs from Costco; you could use chicken breast, just make sure they're all the same thickness)

2 tbs grass-fed butter

lemon slices, for serving

fresh parsley, chopped for serving

broccoli, steamed as a side (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine garlic, lemon juice, spices, & half of the oil in a bowl to marinate chicken.

2. Dry off chicken, and then add it to the marinade. Make sure the chicken is coated in the marinade & let sit covered in the fridge for 2 hours.

3. Heat the remaining oil & butter in a skillet (I use cast iron), and discard the marinade. Cook chicken in the heated oil/butter 3-4 minutes on both sides.  

4. While the chicken is cooking, I steam broccoli for a side. I've also done brussels sprouts & quinoa before. Get creative, or use what you already have. 

5. Serve with slices lemons & chopped parsley

6. Enjoy!
