I probably got this recipe here a long time ago. I usually write down the poster's name, but for some reason I didn't. This has been one of our favorites for a long time. At one time I made it once a week! If you're the one who posted it, thank you!


Lemon Pepper Chicken
 
 
4 chicken breasts, skin removed (I use boneless)
Lemon pepper seasoning
1 lemon
parsley
 
 
Place chicken in a 8x8 baking dish sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with lemon-pepper seasoning.
 
 
Cut lemon into 8 slices. Place two slices on each chicken breast. Sprinkle with parsley.
 
 
Bake at 350 (325 if using glass dish) for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

I can't get to this recipe! It is all blurry and there is a huge box covering (wanting me to join?)

 

Could someone with access kindly paste/copy the recipe here?

 

That pie looks delicious and has an interesting crust.

@RespectLife  There is a NC weekend recipe site that post the recipes for everyone.

 

A unique crust made with saltine crackers, melted butter, and light corn syrup sets this pie apart from the competition. The Cook's Country recipe uses both lemon zest and juice in the custard filling for a bright pop of citrus flavor.

 

North Carolina Lemon Pie
Makes one 9-inch pie

INGREDIENTS

You will need about 53 saltines, roughly one-and-a-half sleeves, to equal 6 ounces.

Crust:
​6 ounces saltines
1/8 teaspoon salt
​10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup light corn syrup

Filling:
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
​4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy cream
​1 tablespoon grated lemon zest plus 1/2 cup juice (3 lemons)
1/8 teaspoon salt

Topping:
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
​2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. CrustAdjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine saltines and salt in food processor and pulse to coarse crumbs, about 15 pulses. Add melted butter and corn syrup and pulse until crumbs are broken down into oatmeal-size pieces, about 15 pulses.

2. Transfer saltine mixture to greased 9-inch pie plate. Using bottom of dry measuring cup, press crumbs into even layer on bottom and sides of plate, using your hand to keep crumbs from spilling over plate edge. Place plate on baking sheet and bake until light golden brown and fragrant, 17 to 19 minutes.

3. FillingWhisk condensed milk, egg yolks, cream, lemon zest, and salt in bowl until fully combined. Whisk in lemon juice until fully incorporated.

4. With pie plate still on sheet, pour filling into crust (crust needn’t be cool). Bake pie until edges are beginning to set but center still jiggles when shaken, 15 to 17 minutes. Place pie on wire rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate pie until fully chilled, about 4 hours.

5. ToppingUsing stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes. Spread whipped cream over top of pie. Serve.
