I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Garlic & Lemon Chicken w/ sides

Garlic & Lemon Chicken....yum. Very simple, but of course I wanted to add something to it. I made a side of this Avocado Cream sauce that I have been wanting to try and added it on top of the chicken. You can find that recipe under Sauces/Dips.


Ingredients:
5 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 small Lemons (1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. Kosher salt (I used more)
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
3/4 pound fresh Green Beans
8 small Red Potatoes, quartered
4 Chicken Breasts
What to do:
  1. Preheat oven to 450F
  2. Coat baking dish with 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  3. Arrange lemon slices from 1 lemon in a single layer in the bottom of dish
  4. In a large bowl, combine remaining oil-lemon juice from one lemon-garlic-salt & pepper
  5. Toss the green beans in the mixture to coat
  6. Remove with tongs and arrange them on top of the lemon slices
  7. Toss the potatoes in the mixture to coat
  8. Remove & arrange them on top of the green beans
   9.   Place chicken in the same bowl & coat
 10.   Arrange chicken on top of the vegetables
 11.   Pour any remaining olive oil mixture over the chicken
 12.   Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the vegetables are soft & tops of chicken are lightly browned
