Lemon Marinated Chicken

Lemon Marinated Chicken sounds amazing. Chicken is mixed with one of my favorite flavors, lemon. My mouth is already starting to water.

It's starting to get pretty easy to dress-up chicken for dinner.

This recipe is pretty easy. It just takes a little time for the marinate to full soak in.

Here is the recipe for Lemon Marinated Chicken.

INGREDIENTS

* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
* 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/4 medium onion, chopped
* 1/4 cup long strip of lemon zest
* 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

DIRECTIONS

1. In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, paprika, pepper, onion, and lemon zest. Place chicken in a medium baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover dish with aluminum foil, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. Place covered baking dish in the preheated oven. Do not drain marinade. Bake chicken 30 minutes. Uncover dish, and continue baking 15 minutes, until marinade is boiling and chicken juices run clear. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.

This will serve two people.

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts


Chicken is a big part of my weekly meal plans. It's high in protein, low in fat and gives you lots of energy. Normally I'll grill chicken breast for dinner and then brush it with a Sweet-Spicy Chili BBQ sauces. Then serve it with rice and vegetables to balance the meal. It is quite tasty but I've been looking for new chicken dish for dinner that has more range in flavor.

Allrecipes.com seems to have a recipe or two I want to try. I did a search on light feta cheese, spinach and chicken. Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts comes up in the results and it looks tasty.

Here is the recipe for Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts:

INGREDIENTS

* 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
* 2 slices bacon

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, spinach, feta cheese, and garlic until well blended. Set aside.

2. Carefully butterfly chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. Spoon spinach mixture into chicken breasts. Wrap each with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place in shallow baking dish. Cover.

3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until chicken is no longer pink.


This will serve two people. Double the ingredients if you want to serve four.

This weekend I will attempt to make this dish. I'll be sure to share the outcome.
