Was going to make this with just chicken breasts but at the last minute decided to make the recipe as written (well, except that I substituted lemon pepper for the S&P)! Not sure it wouldn't have worked out just as well with the breasts, but I will admit that the whole chicken made for A WONDERFULLY TASTY DINNER! Really liked the great garlic & lemon flavors!
