Breaded Lemon Chicken

Delicious breaded lemon chicken!

First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a pan covered with aluminum foil with non-stick spray.

Put the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in medium-large Ziploc bag.

Put the 2 tablespoons canola oil, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in another bag.

Chicken time!

Trim each breast, cut up the trimmings for your pet :), and cut each breast in half.  Do for all five breasts.

Put each half in the lemon mixture, shake around, then the bread mixture, and shake.

Spread chicken out on pan.

For the dog :).

Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes.

It will be done when the chicken is over 165 degrees (mine took 35 minutes).
