Lemon Chicken
With each piece of lemon chicken wrapped in its own foil pouch, whether you are cooking for one or cooking for ten, you'll know exactly how many packets to bake.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
- 4 (12″ × 12″) pieces aluminum foil

Freezing Day
Lay the pieces of aluminum foil on the counter and put a chicken breast in the center. Pierce each chicken breast 3 or 4 times with a fork.
Squeeze the juice from ½ of lemon over each breast. Fold up sides of foil to keep juice from running out if needed.
Sprinkle each breast with lemon pepper and basil. Fold and secure foil over chicken.

Frozen Lemon Slices
If you enjoy drinking water, or any other drink with a fresh slice of lemon, try freezing lemon slices! When you freeze the slices, you don't have to worry about using up your entire lemon before it goes bad. Slice lemon into wedges and flash freeze. Once frozen, put lemons in a small freezer bag. Enjoy freshening your drink with a cold slice.
