Sous Chef Emily's bday, part 2 - Lemon Pepper Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Peas


And yes, finally part 2!


So my roommate and I had Emily over and fed her dinner for her birthday part 2. In the event of people not liking what I make them, I always harass until I get an answer. And Emily wanted Lemon Pepper Chicken.


It’s easy to then run to the store and buy Lemon Pepper seasoning, but I like to make things difficult for myself and evaluated about 7 different Lemon Pepper Chicken recipes. And the winner was from Essence Magazine (Don’t judge!) and it was quite delicious. http://www1.essence.com/recipes/dinner/info/chickenwithlemonpeppersauce/


I did double the lemon in the sauce, but taste as you go. I was very shocked that the gluten free flour that I used made a great crispy batter on the chicken. The chicken was perfectly juicy!


Along with that I served Peas with Butter (yes, the real stuff) and my Garlic Mashed Potatoes from a previous blog - http://rachelafterthanksgiving.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-st-pattys-day-partay.html


We ate till we were stuffed. And then my roommate surprised Emily with Bacon Brownies. *That is her personal recipe. I don’t eat and tell. ;)
