GARLIC LEMON CHICKEN BREAST 
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind (fresh)
4-5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder (for sprinkling)
4 sprigs Italian parsley
4 onion slices (sliced in thick rings)
heavy duty aluminum foil

Cut 4 rectangles of heavy duty aluminum foil, each about the size of 1/2 a standard cookie sheet.

Combine first 5 ingredients (this can optionally be done in a blender).

Spray (or brush) the 4 large rectangles of aluminum foil with olive oil. Place chicken in center; brush with lemon/garlic mixture, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lightly dust with garlic powder.

Place a slice of onion and a sprig of parsley over each. Fold up aluminum into a loose, square packet and crimp edges tightly to seal well. Place in a shallow baking dish or on the grill.

Bake at 350°F for about 50-60 minutes (this depends on the size of each chicken piece).

4 servings.

Garlic Lemon Chicken Breast

Chicken was very tender but lemon was the only flavor. I will make again but only with half the lemon juice. I cooked the chicken in a covered dish and I tried to reduce the sauce with corn starch but it still came out thin.

I wanted a recipe for large chicken breasts in hopes that they would be moist. (I rarely cook or eat chicken breasts bc they are so dry!) I saw this recipe with 16 star reviews and thought I'd try. Now, I'm adding #17! This was a hit for my family! It was delicious and the large breasts were so moist and tasty! Will be making again! Thanks!

For those that hesitate to use Soy Sauce - due to the sodium...there is now a substitute. Cannot tell the difference. Its Coconut Aminos.. Approx., 140 mg. of sodium - per 1 teaspoon. Think I found it near the Soy Sauce in the store.
