Lemon Rosemary Chicken

Improvisation is what created this gluten free dinner recipe one night.  I had half a lemon I didn’t want to waste, some chicken, and rosemary seemed a good choice to balance out the slight tangy flavor the lemons imparted.
Voila! Lemon chicken dinner!

This recipe also fits the bill for what I like a meal to be: easy-peasy, allergy-free, healthy, inexpensive, from wholesome foods and fast to make!   Sometimes improv is the best ally.

You’ll Need:
– thin chicken strips
– rosemary or italian seasoning
– salt & pepper
– 1 lemon
– olive oil

To Start:
– preheat oven to 300 degrees.
– add olive oil to bottom of skillet – turn heat to med-high.
– place chicken in skillet.  Add rosemary/italian seasoning, salt & pepper.
– brown just the outsides of the chicken in the pan to seal the juices, leaving the insides pink to finish cooking in the oven.
– place half-cooked chicken in a baking dish and into the oven for about 10 mins.
– cut thin slices from the lemon.
– when the chicken is testing to be nearly done, add a slice of lemon to each chicken and let it bake a few more mins.
