Thank you for your friendly smiling face which I like seeing often with your recipes. SI feel like I have a friend every time!
Thank you, Rachel for helping us get through this horrendous coronavirus scare. I make your recipes, which are always the best! So far I’ve had all the ingredients due to a well-stocked pantry and freezer. I look forward to your emails!
God bless you and your family!
My family love this recipe. My daughter told her friends. She said mom, I can prepare this dish every day of the week. It’s the bomb!
I have an option for you. My family prefers dark meat so i use thighs. I put on some lemon juice and some soy sauce then dried lemon crystals (from the spice shelves) and some grinds of pepper. I bake 10 minutes, turn the chicken over and reseason then bake for 30 minutes. Then turn the chicken over again and cook another 10-15 minutes. Delish! and the pan juice is terrific on white rice or make it into gravy for potatoes.

LOVED this recipe! Not only was it quick and easy it was flavorful and delicious! I used a little less oregano and basil as i find they can quickly overwhelm a dish, otherwise followed the recipe. Definitely a keeper!
This dish was delicious, and so easy!! I love having the video along with the recipe. The chicken was so moist and the flavor was excellent. My family devoured it … no leftovers tonight!
Delicious & easy lemon pepper chicken recipe that I’ve finally found! I will be making this again.

(I used lg. package of thighs) The lemon slices and parsley (only had dried) at the end made it extra yummy! My husband just heated up a piece for breakfast!? Thank you for the helpful video tutorials, too!
