EASY & FAST Baked Lemon Chicken

I made this again tonight, that's twice in the last two weeks.  It's fabulous and it works great when taking meals to friends or family who need a dinner.

2-3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast

1 stick of butter 

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs

1 lemon, sliced

salt 

pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease shallow baking dish.  

In a shallow bowl, melt butter with lemon juice and garlic clove.  Put breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.  Set Aside.

Trim fat from chicken breasts and then slice them in half.  Cover in plastic wrap on the cutting board and pound with a meat pounder until 1/4 inch thick.   Season generously with salt and pepper.  

Dip chicken breast in butter mixture and then coat in breadcrumbs.  Place in shallow dish.  Spread remaining butter mixture over chicken in the dish.  Place sliced lemons on top of chicken.  Bake uncovered for 22 minutes.  Serve with rice or potatoes or whatever the heck you want.  

I can't get enough of this stuff.
