Easy, Fast and Tasty Chicken

Submitted by codeblusqrl

"For those nights where you forget to marinde your chicken (or-like me- too lazy to do it) you can use this recipe to make some great flavorful chicken. In addition, it goes great with any simple lemon chicken marinade to add more "umpf" (I hate when you take a bite of the thicker part of the chicken and you can't taste the marinade like in the thinner parts- this way you get flavor throughout the meat!). Me, I like a little kick to my seasonings so I add a light dusting of cayenne pepper (a little goes a long way!) but it's optional and is still great without it!"
