What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Junkie Favorites: Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! What I love about this recipe is any type of chicken will do. If you prefer wings, thighs, drumsticks, breasts, or all of the above, it works! The lemony citrus accent is perfect with a side salad and a piece of warm crusty bread. If you can get your hands on a lemon infused olive oil, you may want to take the plunge. It’s also a great way to jazz up an ordinary salad with the bright, tangy flavor of citrus. Balance it out with a pomegranate balsamic vinegar for a winning combination. Who knows, you may have found a new favorite.
WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER
Ingredients:
6 chicken fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon granulated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 lemon, sliced and quartered
6 green onions
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Trim and pat dry the chicken fillets. In an iron skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When hot, carefully place chicken in pan. Season with salt, pepper, thyme leaves, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Sear both sides for 3-4 minutes each. Add lemon slices, wedges, and green onions. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve chicken with roasted lemons and onions.
The ingredients are perfect!
And balsamic vinegar with olive oil is such a great salad dressing.
Nailed it! 🙂

Going to try this during the week. Can you tell me what granulated lemon zest is? Do you add something to the lemon zest?
