How to get the most out of your kitchen at college

Lemon Herb Marinated Chicken Breast

This is a really easy chicken recipe that is REALLY good, has lots of flavor, and has very little sugar so it can be given to your diabetic friends. I usually make macaroni & cheese and a salad to go with this recipe.

You will need .....

an 8x8 inch baking dish, small bowl to mix the marinade in, 1 Tablespoon & 1/2 Teaspoon measuring spoons, plastic wrap, fork and a sharp knife.

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice ( or lime juice, both taste good)

1/2 tsp rosemary or tarragon

1/2 tsp table salt

1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, depending on how much pepper you like

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Mix first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken breast halves in the 8x8 inch baking pan and pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for up to 30 minutes, turning the chicken over after 15 minutes. Broil on high for 10 minutes or until done, flip the chicken over after 5 minutes and continue cooking. Cut into the chicken to make sure that it is cooked all the way through. You do not want to see any pink color at all. If you do, put it back in the oven until the pink color is gone.

* It usually takes more than 10 minutes to cook all the way through so make sure to check to see if the chicken is done. If your oven doesn't have the option to broil, you can bake the chicken breasts at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for 18 minutes turning once. Cut into the chicken to make sure it is done.
