MARINADE
Lemon zest of one lemon
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper

MEAT
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables
1 bunch of Broccoli or zucchini squash,
2 Red potatoes or 1 russet potato
8 oz mushrooms
* We use broccoli, red potatoes, snap peas, and two types of squash, yellow and zucchini
and it tasted pretty good like that

We cut all the veggies into large bite-size chunks and the chicken breasts in half.
Mix the marinade together in a large Ziploc bag. Then, add everything else. Let it marinate for at least one hour or longer (as long as overnight) turning the bag and moving the veggies around occasionally.

Remove the veggies and chicken from the marinade. Place vegetables and chicken on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Throw away the marinade. Bake 20-30 min at 375 degrees stirring and turning occasionally.Broiled or grilled Lemon chicken

Mini Quesadillas

Chipotle Chicken, Black Bean and Corn Mini Quesadillas
From: Danielle J

3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
30: 2 ½ - 3 inch round flour tortillas, cut with round cookie or biscuit cutter
2 Cups diced cooked chicken
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from can (3 if you like spicy)
1/4 Cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 fresh corn on the cob, kernels removed
1 Cup drained black beans
2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 Cups light sour cream
2-3 Tablespoons adobo sauce from can of chipotle peppers

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place tortillas onto a baking rack placed over a baking sheet. Brush tops of each tortilla with oil and bake for 5-7 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil into large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, chipotle peppers, cilantro, corn and beans until heated through, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese over each bottom tortilla. Spoon a heaping Tablespoon of chicken mixture over cheese layer then sprinkle with a pinch more cheese. Lightly press a tortilla round over top. Repeat this process until chicken and tortillas are used up. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cheese is melted. Combine sour cream and chipotle in a small bowl. Serve with a cilantro leaf garnished plate and top with chipotle sour cream if desired.

*Depending on what size you cut your tortillas you may need more or less to use all of filling. If you have a house full of non-spicy fans, only use 1 chipotle chili. You'll still get the smoky flavor with less heat*
