A few years ago I decided to start a blog, but then I lost touch with it and I wasn’t truly invested in it.  This time, it’s different! Not only have I made a commitment to a friend, Sarahlicious (check out her blog!), but I also have a focus.  What’s the focus, you ask?  Duh, cavities and cravings.

I am currently a second year dental student.  Dental school has pretty much taken over life.   While I know I’m in the right place, doing the right thing, it’s definitely not easy.  I am sure you’ll hear me whine a lot more about it.   Just tell me to suck it up and get over it.

Aside from teeth, I love love love baking.  It’s become a passion of  mine over the years.  I bake when I’m happy, sad, stressed, bored…. you get the point.  More recently, however, I have decided to branch out and make it my mission to find yummy, healthy recipes (sometimes they’re not completely healthy …but they’re always yummy!) I hope that I can share my new cooking experiences and recipes with you. I also hope that my hubby (Mina, checkout his website, he’s a tv junkie!), will enjoy being the guinea pig for these new recipes 🙂

The recipe I want to share today is Baked Lemon Chicken and it was a huge hit! I got the recipe from allrecipes.com, but I tweaked it a bit.  I hope it turns out as delicious for you as it did for me! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1. In a shallow dish, combine the butter, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in another dish. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat with crumbs.
2. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Drizzle with remaining butter mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until juices run clear. Put on broil for 5-8 minutes, just to let the top get a little brown and crunch
