Lemon & Garlic Roasted Chicken Breasts

I was craving grilled chicken - and our plan was to make this recipe and grill the chicken.  Turns out the day was cooler than expected, and husband was coming home a bit late - so I opted to make the chicken in the oven and altered my original recipe to the makeshift recipe below. 

Ingredients:
 - 4 chicken breasts (bone in)
- 1 lemon zest
- 4 cloves of garlics, minced
- cilantro
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsps dijon mustard
- 1/2 jalapeno



Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, cilantro, dijon mustard & jalapeno.  Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade.  Place in a roasting pan.

3.  I opted to add some yellow squash and threw some into the roasting pan.

4. Roast for about 45 minutes.

Verdict: It was pretty good.  It was an easy recipe that was full of flavor.  Great for leftovers too.  We made a side of orzo with peas, basil & tomatoes.
