Greek Chicken


Greek Chicken
Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 50 minutes (depends on size of chicken i used chicken breasts and cut them in half so cooking time was not 50 min more like 30 min)
Ingredients
2 fresh lemons


1 cooking spray
6 Chicken, broiler/fryer, leg, with o skin, raw, boned, skin discarded (i have scaled the recipe down to 2 chicken breasts which will also reduce the cooking time)

Slice the other lemon thinly and set aside.
2 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly coat a shallow baking pan with olive oil-flavored cooking spray.

4 Bake chicken for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center when cut with a small knife.
