Lemon (or Lime) Chicken


I made this back in the beginning of our marriage and we loved it.  The recipe originally calls for lemon, but the second time I made it I used lime and we loved it even more.

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup butter/margarine
1/3 cup lemon or lime juice
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp. minced garlic (I use the kind that comes in a jar. So much easier)
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1 tsp. salt & pepper
Rosemary
Thyme


Pound the chicken breasts to make them thinner (less cooking time!) and dredge with flour.


Melt butter in baking pan, coat chicken on all sides.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. Brush with pan drippings once or twice if you'd like.

Meanwhile, make lemon baste - mix lemon juice, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Brush chicken with part of baste and continue baking for about 10-15 more minutes then brush the rest on and bake for 10-15 minutes longer or until done.


*I usually put the lemon/lime baste on before the first 20 minutes are up, and it never takes as long to cook as this recipe says.
