KALE SALAD WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the oil, kale, onion, lemon zest and juice together in a large bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, add the goat cheese and toss carefully so the goat cheese stays in clumps. Set aside.

EASY LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the flour and lemon pepper seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the chicken breast pieces and then rub it in until the chicken is fully coated.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about one minute.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet and whisk to dissolve all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the lemon juice and allow the sauce to simmer in the skillet for 3-5 minutes, or until it has reduced slightly. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (I did not add any).
• Finally, return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. Allow the chicken to heat through. Season with a little freshly cracked pepper and fresh chopped parsley (optional), then serve.

• Transfer the cooled chicken to a cutting board and dice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Slice and dice the celery, green onion, grapes, parsley and tarragon. Add those ingredients to a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

• Slice potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Place potatoes, salt and 4 cups of water into another microwave safe dish. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 13-16 minutes or until tender, stirring twice; drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Rub chicken with 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning. Spray pan with oil. Cook chicken 7-9 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 and juices run clear, turning once. Remove from pan; set aside and keep warm.
• For dressing, juice lemon to measure 2 tablespoons Combine juice, 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning and garlic in a small bowl. Slowly add 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking constantly; set aside.

LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Make the chicken wings: Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On the sheet pan, pat the chicken wings dry, and toss with the olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
• Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon pepper: Finely grate about 2 teaspoons zest from the lemons onto another parchment paper-lined pan (a considerably smaller one works). Cut the lemons into wedges and set aside for serving. Add pepper to the zest, mix to combine and spread in an even layer. When the wings are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and turn off the oven. Place the pan with the lemon zest and black pepper in the still-warm oven, letting the lemon zest dry out and the black pepper toast in the residual heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn or brown the zest; it may darken in shade slightly but should still be a vibrant yellow.
• In a small bowl, use your fingers to mix together the toasted lemon zest and black pepper with the salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and citric acid (if using) until well combined. Be sure to break up any clumps of sugar. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of the lemon pepper over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon pepper as desired. (You can store the rest of the spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.)
• Transfer the seasoned wings to a large platter and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
