This recipe is care of my sister-in-law who loves cooking with lemons. My husband loves it so I try to make it every few weeks – it’s a great and very easy Shabbat lunch recipe – good served cold or warmed.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken cut up
• 6 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• dash lemon zest

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• On one plate put the liquid ingredients – olive oil and lemon – if you need more just make sure the olive oil and lemon juice are in a 2:1 ratio – roughly.
• On the second plate put the dry ingredients – bread crumbs, thyme and lemon zest.
• Coat chicken pieces in wet mixture and then coat it in bread crumbs.
• Bake between 40-60 minutes, depending on how big your chicken pieces are, I always take the chicken temperature before taking it out, the internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
• Can also be used on chicken breasts, make sure to reduce the cooking time.
• Great served hot or cold (which makes it a go-to Shabbat lunch recipe).
