Lebanese Chicken

I love proteins with lots of flavor and spice - this is delicious! I got the recipe from one of my college friends whose mother was Lebanese!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
8 cloves of garlic, minced
2t dried thyme (or 2T fresh thyme)
1T paprika
1 1/2t cumin
3/4t cayene pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Whisk lemon juice, garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin, and cayene pepper in small bowl. Place chicken in a glass baking dish. Pour marinade over the chicken, turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight (6 hour minimum) turning occasionally.

Preheat oven to 425F - transfer chicken and marinade to large roasting pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Bake until chicken is cooked through, occasionally basting with the juices (usually takes about 20-30 minutes.) Wah lah!

All of these flavors are ones that I love...  nice to see you posting here!

Thanks - I'm a huge cooking buff (contemplated going to culinary school - decided to be an accountant instead - lol.)

Wow, all that garlic and lemon looks SO good! Yum!

This sounds so good. I am going to try this one in the next few days. I think hubby will like it too. If not I am going to be able to eat more during the next few days. Good for me! Thanks so much for sharing.
