The great blend of spices on these broiled chicken breasts has a wonderful flavor and pairs well with many vegetable side dishes.

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a broiler pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.

  • Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Brush with remaining olive oil until coated. Sprinkle each piece evenly on both sides with paprika, lemon-pepper, and salt. Place on the prepared broiler pan, sprinkle garlic over top, and sprinkle onions around the base of the chicken, with several smaller pieces on top.

  • Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook, checking often, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I was torn between 2 and 3 stars on this one, but decided on 3 because some tweaks can be made to improve it. First off, this was way too salty and I'm a big salt fan. As I was mixing together the spice blend, I was thinking it was making an awful lot and that there was a ton of salt since lemon pepper seasoning is already salty as is...but I went with it. On the two chicken breasts, I only used 1/4 of the seasoning I had mixed up because there was so much of it, and it still came out too salty. The amount of seasoning as written would be enough for about 8 breasts. I highly recommend you only make a half batch at most, and leave out the salt - only sprinkle some on at the end if needed. I used 8oz breasts and they were done at 10 minutes. The onions were starting to burn, so keep an eye on things. I do like broiling chicken though, as they tend to come out juicy (assuming you don't overcook them!). Read More

At first, I wasn't sure of the lemon pepper with paprika, but this turned out to be a great recipe with just a couple of revisions. I ended up squeezing a 1/2 lemon and marinated for a couple of hours. After marinating, I seared the chicken, then placed on the onion and marinade and baked at 350 degrees until complete. Very tasty indeed! Read More
