Loved this chicken! I had three chicken breasts and used lemon pepper with seasoning salt added. Browned the breasts nicely and added a 10 1/2 ounce can of chicken broth before placing in the oven. The chicken was very moist and was falling apart as I lifted it out of the casserole dish. While waiting for the potatoes to finish roasting I added 4 lemon slices to the broth and tightly wrapped with foil again. A nice kick of lemon added to the chicken! Thank you so much Jim for posting this recipe, I will make be making it again. Made and reviewed for ZWT 5, Bodacious Brickhouse Babes team.

This was very easy to prepare, and I love lemon pepper, but this didn't do it for me. Perhaps I should have used more chicken broth.

Mmm! I was skeptical at first, I'll admit ... but was more than pleased with the results. Even my boyfriend (who rarely seems to comment on my cooking) was asking, "what's in this? It's good!". I also used chicken thighs, cooked for about 50 minutes. I threw in some frozen baby potatoes for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Delicious, easy dinner. Thanks!

Five stars for simplicity and flavor. It doesn't get any easier or tastier than this.
