Fresh Lemon Chicken Breasts step by step
- Put chicken in large freezer bag. Pour all ingredients over chicken and shake up until everything is mixed up and chicken is coated evenly. Let marinate over night. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear..

But I can assure you that we won't stand for anything boring — especially when it comes to food. On the other hand, when you add layers of bright and fresh flavors (like lemon pepper!), eating healthy is a breeze. For juicy, tender chicken breasts remember these three things: marinate first, bake loosely covered, and use a meat thermometer.
