Mmhm Mhhm Chicken!

Lemon Sugar Roasted Chicken


Wow now talk about a great burst of flavors with this yummy chicken! I got the recipe from pinterest of course, but that lead me to this wonderful blog...click here.

But here's the recipe if you just want to get straight to the tastey recipe!

Ingredients:
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced (I added a little more!)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 bone-in and skin-on chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/2 small onion, sliced thinly

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. In small bowl, whisk lemon zest, juice, garlic, oil, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper.

3. Place chicken (skin side up) in a greased glass baking dish. Arrange the bell pepper, tomato, an onion around the chicken. Pour lemon mixture evenly over the top.

4. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 min. Remove foil and spoon pan juices repeatedly over the chicken to moisten.

5. Bake uncovered, basting every 10 min., for about 30 more min. Serve chicken and vegetables with all of the pan juices.

This was so tastey, talk about an easy and deluxe meal! Jon and I loved it! Try it out if you like the lemon flavor and chicken! Let me know what you think if you give it a try! ;)
