This was soooo good!! The WHOLE family loved it! It truly tastes like you're eating a bacon cheeseburger!

Sticky Lemon Chicken & Rice-a-Roni

Great meal!! The chicken had good flavor, although I think next time I will marinate it about an hour before cooking to deepen the flavor. The rice is a recipe from my Aunt Deb & is a favorite comfort food of mine! Nothing fancy but yummy & filling - like all carbs are!

Sticky Lemon Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3T lemon juice
2T honey
1T olive oil
1tsp garlic salt
1tsp Italian seasoning

Heat oven to 375*. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and add the chicken. Mix together the remaining ingredients & pour over the chicken. Roast the chicken, uncovered, for 45 minutes, basting after 25 minutes.

Rice-a-roni

1/2 stick butter
8oz spaghetti
2c rice
6 chicken bullion cubes

In a large pot melt the butter. Break up the spaghetti into small pieces. Fry in the butter until browned. Add the rice, chicken bullion & 2 cups of water. Cover & bring to a boil. Return to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
