Menu Plan Monday

Monday

Lemon Butter Chicken and Rice

from the giant blog of cooking....

1 cube butter

1 package of Good Season Italian Seasoning

2 lbs chicken tenders, or breasts

The juice of 2 lemons

Melt the butter in a big frying pan. Add your chicken and then sprinkle the seasoning over the top and the juice of the lemons. Cover and let cook on medium heat until tender. I took the lid off, and let the juice simmer down so I could get a yummy crispy crust on my chicken.

For the crockpot, put melted butter in the bottom of the crockpot and add chicken. Sprinkle with seasoning and juice. Put on lid and cook on high 4-5 hours or on low 6-8 hours. Serve over rice.
