Citrus Honey Garlic Chicken

 

CITRUS HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

I love this chicken. I used thin chicken breasts so they cooked up super quick in the oven. You could of course also do this in the crock pot.

My husband doesn’t like the lemon flavor with chicken so feel free to omit the lemon juice in this recipe if desired.

Make extra chicken to top off your salad the next day for lunch. It’s a double whammy. Or if you prefer chicken salad instead- throw that together for your lunch.

Ingredients:

2 Lemons, Juiced

1 c. olive oil

8-10 Garlic Gloves or 3 T. Minced

8 T. Honey

Salt and Pepper to taste

1/4 t. thyme

Chicken Breasts about 4 lbs.

1. Squeeze Lemons of their juice. Can omit this step if you aren’t into citrus flavored meat.
2. Mince or press garlic cloves.
3. Whisk all ingredients in a bowl and divide into 2- Gallon Size Freezer Baggies.
4. Add Chicken breasts to baggies, double bad, label, and freeze flat.

To Prepare:

1. Defrost in fridge.
2. Either grill or place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees about 30 minutes or until chicken is done- 165 degrees F. You could also do this crock pot if desired it just results in a more shredded chicken then a whole breast.
