Chicken for Dinner

Tonight I made asparagus, butter beans, corn and "Best Lemon" chicken.
The asparagus was canned and didn't turn out as good as the fresh kind I usually cook. But it was okay, just a bit on the mushy side.
The butterbeans were the Seasoned kind by GLORY. All I did was heat them up and they were great!
I used regular canned yellow corn and added butter, salt and pepper to taste. Yum!

On to the chicken... I got the recipe off the frozen bag of chicken. It is called Best Lemon Chicken.
The recipe calls for:
4 frozen Tyson chicken breasts
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
ground red pepper -I would recommend only using 1 teaspoon or so. The recipe called for 2 tablespoons but I only added 1 tablespoon and it was HOT! It's also optional if you don't like spicy. That's actually the way I'm going to try it next time.
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1. Rinse frozen layer off chicken and place in a shallow baking dish.
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and pour over chicken.
(This recipe can also be used when grilling and if you choose to do so save 1/4 of the marinade for basting the chicken while cooking on the grill).
3. Marinade for 20 minutes. Place in 375 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
Serve it all with a tall glass of sweet tea and call it dinner.
ENJOY!!

Happy Cooking,
Chef Williamson
