Summery Lemon Chicken

A few weeks ago I needed a simple chicken recipe.  So I thumbed through my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook and saw this recipe for lemon chicken.  It looked simple enough, and that's what I needed after a long day.    

I used lemons I had picked from my dad's tree and had squeezed (pardon the pun) into every spare space in my suitcase.  I don't know if it was my dad's organic lemons or this recipe, but it was so tasty!   I'm definitely going to make it again.

Summery Lemon Chicken - Serves 4 to 6

1.  Prepare chicken:  
(1)   Rinse and trim the fat off 4 chicken breasts (I used thighs). 
(2)   Then put them into an 8 x 8 greased baking pan.
(3)   Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme.

2. Melt 1 cube of butter (I usually half the fat) and pour it over the chicken.

3. Thinly slice 1 lemon and place them over the tops of the chicken. 

4.  Bake the chicken at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
