Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Brown the cut-up chicken in oil in a skillet or oven-safe pan.
- Add minced onions and garlic or garlic salt to the chicken.
- Let the chicken brown further and then add ReaLemon lemon juice.
- Cover the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful chicken, marinate it in the ReaLemon juice, garlic, and onions for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder if that's what you have on hand. Adjust the amount of oil based on the size of your skillet; you want enough to brown the chicken properly without overcrowding the pan. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some chili flakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chicken Obscenity with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Margie Kitchen'S Almond Rice Casserole for a hearty dinner. You can also garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor. For a complete dinner, consider pairing it with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious juices.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Chicken Obscenity can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. This method helps maintain the chicken's moisture and flavor. You can also reheat it in the microwave, covered, for quicker serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use boneless chicken, but adjust the cooking time as it may cook faster than bone-in pieces. Start checking for doneness around 30-35 minutes. Boneless chicken can also be more prone to drying out, so make sure not to overbake.
What can I substitute for ReaLemon?
If you don't have ReaLemon, you can use freshly squeezed lemon juice or another citrus juice like lime for a different flavor. The acidity helps tenderize the chicken while adding brightness to the dish.
What should I do if the chicken is not browning?
If the chicken is not browning, ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. You may also need to increase the heat slightly. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the temperature and prevent browning. Give it enough space for even cooking.
