Broken Krayon

If you know me, I love to come up with recipes at random.  Occasionally I will remember to write them down.

I came up with this recipe the other night and thought I should write it down so I could repeat it later.  I started out to make some Lemon Pepper Chicken.  All measurements are estimates.  Most of the time I just add ingredients to taste.

1 Stick Butter

2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice

1/4 of a Onion Chopped

Salt

Pepper

Paprika

Ground Sweet Basil

Ground Oregano

1) Place Chicken into an un-greased baking dish. 

2) Add stick of butter in the middle of the dish.

3) Spread Chopped Onion evenly over Chicken

4) Evenly Season chicken with the rest of the Spices.

5) Bake in Oven until chicken reaches the desired internal temperature.

If you give this recipe a try, please let me know how it turns out.

Tonight I tried a new Rub for my Grilled Chicken.  My family had nothing but good things to say about it, so I better write it down.  Note all measurements are not exact.  I usually just go by taste.

4 Tbsp of Brown Sugar

1 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper

1 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp Ground Ginger

1/4 tsp Paprika

1/8 tsp Sweet Basil

1/8 tsp Ground Oregano

Mix well, and rub on skin of chicken.  Grill via indirect heat or Bake, until chicken reaches desired internal temperature.

I have also used this rub on Grilled Pork Steaks with a similar effect.

If you give this recipe a try, please let me know how it turns out.
