Tasty Tuesday!

Soooo....for my contribution to Lindsay's Tasty Tuesday this week, I'm going to share a recipe I JUST tried for the first time last Friday (and also had for leftovers today - yum-O!). I found this recipe at Everyday Fare, and I am a BIG fan of it (but then again, I love anything that involves using lemon or lime:)!). With no further ado, here it is:

Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1-2 lbs. split chicken breasts, or other bone-in chicken pieces (I used three boneless, skinless chicken breasts from sam's, cut into inch by inch or so pieces)
• salt & pepper
• garlic powder
• 1-2 lemons, cut into wedges (um..i used three:)!)
  

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the chicken pieces liberally on both sides with salt, freshly ground pepper and garlic powder.
• Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and cook the chicken pieces for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Flip and cook an additional 3 minutes.
• Squeeze the lemon wedges over the chicken. Tuck the wedges around the chicken and place the entire pan in the oven. Allow the chicken to cook 10-15 minutes or until the juices run clear.

I threw some brown rice together and some yummy (on sale!) asparagus, and we had a complete meal:). My love affair with guacamole is due in HUGE part to the presence of oodles of lime juice, so I definitely used 3 lemons here and loved every last citrusy bit:).

On another note, my brother (via my mom) sent me a couple pictures of his puppies (okay, they're not puppies any more) in all their cuteness:
