Lemon Basil Chicken with Italian Potatoes


A friend gave me some fresh lemon basil that she grew in her garden....it smelled amazing! Not really knowing what to do with it I experimented and it was pretty tasty.

--Lemon Basil Chicken--
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup sun dried tomato basil olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon basil, chopped
lemon pepper seasoning

In a deep baking dish pour in olive oil
Add half of chopped lemon basil
Set the chicken in, then turn them over so both sides get oiled
Season with the remaining lemon basil and lemon pepper seasoning

Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Overcooking will dry out the chicken.

--Italian Potatoes--
Drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet, dice 4 red potatoes and rub around in olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and garlic salt, bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes until fork tender.
Once done, dump in bowl and add a squirt of italian dressing and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Stir and serve.
