Lemon and Garlic Chicken

So, the boyfriend and myself have started doing P90X. Friday, April 8 was Day 1, so we haven't been at it for long, but long enough to start getting into the groove. We've also decided to follow the nutrition guide. Not really to the T, because I like cooking different things too much for that, but definitely eating cleaner and healthier than we typically do.

This recipe came straight out of the P90X nutrition guide, and it's so damn good. Like, seriously guys, it's amazing. I wouldn't lead you astray on this. It came out that pretty, perfect brown and just juicy and delicious and mmmm. Seriously amazing, and you should go out and make it right this instant. Here, I'll even give you the recipe with some notes on what I changed up and such:

Lemon and Garlic Chicken from the P90X Nutrition Guide

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons molasses (yes, molasses, and this is a "healthy" recipe haha)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
4 garlic cloves, chopped (I totally used more because we love garlic)
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I just put 2 chicken
breasts in and it works)
1/4 teaspoon salt (I didn't add any because, well, we don't like salt haha)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon Wedges (didn't use)
Parsley springs (didn't use)

1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a dish and add chicken. Cover and
marinate in fridge 1 hour, turning occasionally.

*Panda Note: I let it marinate for like, 3-4
hours. By "turning" I totally just took the whole bowl (with lid on,
obviously) and shook it haha

2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees

3. Remove chicken from dish, reserving marinade, and arrange in a
shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Pour reserved marinade
over chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, basting occasionally with
marinade. Bake without basting for 20 minutes more or until chicken is
done. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with parsley if desired.

Serves 3 (if you follow the chicken thigh thing, obviously it just
served 2 with us and I didn't change anything about it other than the
chicken.)

We paired it with a salad and 1/4 cup of rice and we devoured it. It probably helps that it was post-workout and we were both starving, but still. Go make it. You'll thank me. :D
