Broiled Herbed Chicken with Lemon Butter Sauce
This is a great recipe when you want something fast, easy and flavorful. I am a very visual person so I like to have the option of step by step photo directions as well as written directions. Scroll to the bottom for written directions as well.


Ingredients 

2. 1 teaspoon salt
3. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
4. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
6. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
7. 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
8. 4 chicken breasts (I get mine frozen, packaged from Costco)
9. 3 tablespoons butter, melted
10. 3 tablespoons lemon juice
11. 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (or I also used dry parsley...it probably tastes better fresh but it works either way)





Utensils

I defrost my chicken breasts in warm water in a bowl. 

Step 1: Turn your oven to "broil".

Step 2: In the small bowl, combine the salt, oregano, garlic powder, lemon pepper, paprika and red pepper.

I use my whisk to stir the ingredients together so that they are uniform.

Step 3: Cover a roasting pan with foil and place a rack in it.

Step 3 cont.: Lightly spray the rack with cooking spray.

Step 4: Place the chicken on the rack and sprinkle the chicken with the seasoning mixture (save some for the other side).

Step 5: Making sure your oven rack is about 7-8" from the heat, broil the chicken until golden brown (about 12-15 minutes).

Step 5.5: Have a cute sidekick cheering you on! 

Step 6: Turn the chicken pieces over and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture.

Step 7: Broil about 8-10 more minutes, or until chicken is done.

Step 8: While the chicken is finishing in the oven, combine the melted butter, lemon juice and parsley in a pot on the stove. Melt together just until well mixed, not too long.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with whatever sides you desire.
