Lemon Pepper Chicken

-



An easy quick Chicken recipe for the weekend.Can be an appetiser when cut into smaller pieces or a complete meal on its own.

To serve-4 Persons

Ingredients

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
2 tbsp clear honey
1 lemon, juice and finely grated zest
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp dijon mustard
A Few Lemon Roundels-To add to the Flavour and eye appeal
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
750g baby salad potatoes or larger ones, halved
Chopped Parsley for Garnish.
steamed broccoli florets, to serve

Method
1. Make 2-3 diagonal superficial cuts on each chicken breast with a sharp knife.
2. Mix the honey, lemon zest and juice, garlic, mustard and black pepper in a bowl.
3. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Leave it to marinate for 30 minutes or preferably overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/.Arrange the potatoes,Lemaon roundels and chicken in a single layer in a shallow-sided roasting tin and pour any excess marinade on top.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked. Serve with broccoli and any pan juices.

PS-Onion Lovers may add roundels of one onion also.

You may adjust the quantity of Pepper and/or lemon juice as per your taste.
Recipe can be made ahead and frozen and reheated for the next meal.

This is great mood elevating recipe due to its citrus flavor.Not really a spicy preparation as per Indian Taste but its not bland too. A Zero oil recipe suitable for Diabetics without Potatoes and Honey-Should be omitted for them:-)The Zingy flavour of lemon and sharpness of pepper makes it irresistable...try it!
Serve with a glass of fruity white wine....enjoii!

Just saw these green beauties at the farmer's market last week.Couldn't resist bringing them home. These chillies were fat and round and very different from the dark green chillies that we get in north indian markets.So,I asked the vendor...what are these....He answered Pakoda mirchi ...that means the chillies which you can stuff and batter fry...Basically they are not very hot but are full of flavor.Good !! I thought these are so similar to jalapenoes......yes they look like close cousins.And I am using them just like jalapenoes eversince..and they continue to make me happy ...with the jalapeno cheese pops and also as a homemede pizza topping .Plus now they are looking nice in jar and will continue the joys in 2010 also. I have presereved them in vinegar ,sugar and salt.

Stylefortifiedwithsonal Hello Everyone I am back after a decade in this blogosphere. In the past ten years I embraced motherhood and have a joyful 9 year old son . As I evolved as a mother ,something else happened simultaneously...my life got FORTIFIED. Yes,I turned FORTY...It is like the Act II of life ,a major milestone! The choice was to get busy living or get busy dying.No guesses for my choice-I chose to get busy living ! I cannot really dance like I used to when I was 18....but i immensely enjoy traveling,partying (and all the other activities involved within like SHOPPING,DRESSING UP,TAKING PICTURES,FOOD etc)as much as I used to ever since. Also an important insight through this journey has been to know everyone has ups and downs in their lives-whether they post it on facebook/instagram or not.So nobody's life is as rosy or gloomy as it appears on their social media. Now I feel empowered to make all my decisions myself.I have a supportive family ,a lovi...
