Lemon Garlic Chicken

I made this last night.  It was delicious.  These ingredients I have most of the time at my house.  So, I was happy to stumble upon the recipe.  I served it with whole pasta and a salad.  If you haven't noticed, this is one of my favorite cooking blogs.  I've made nothing on here that I didn't rave about - simply wonderful - and most of the time super easy :)!

Lemon-Garlic Herb Rubbed Chicken
Recipe by Our Best Bites

1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced or pressed garlic
1 large or 2 small lemons, zested and juiced
1/3-1/2 cup minced fresh herbs, preferably a combo of basil, rosemary, and oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4-6 tablespoons (or more) extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts*

*also great on fish and grilled vegetables

Combine garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper.  Add olive oil until mixture comes together like a thick sauce.  If you have a mini food processor, you can blend the mixture until it becomes the consistency of a chunky pesto.  Rub mixture over chicken and/or vegetables and let sit for 20-30 minutes.  When ready to cook, preheat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.  Cook a few minutes on each side, turning only once, until done (Internal temp should be about 165 degrees).

I just started making beans for my hubby. My mother-in-law(the woman who sends me most of these yummy recipes on here) has introduced to me a new way and EASY way to make some good ole black eyed peas and lima bean mixture(or whatever kind of bean you would like). I made them tonight and my dad and husband absolutely loved them. My Dad said he would rather have those beans then the ones my Mom makes with a real ham hock. ha. That should tell you how good they are. Here ya go...it is easy breezy. 1 bag of frozen lima beans(or baby lima beans) 1 bag of black eyed peas 1 can of green beans(optional) 3 packets of Goya Ham Seasoning(they come in a box) Combine all beans together in a pot.
