This recipes comes from "Quick and Easy Low-Carb Cooking" by Nancy Hughes. It is easy to prepare and economical. Low in carbs it is perfect for those watching their carb intake. I used lemon pepper to reduce the sodium; however, you can use salt and pepper if preferred.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 skinless chicken drumsticks, rinsed, and patted dry
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1-2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 medium lemons
1 1/2 teaspoons dry oregano leaves
3/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
paprika, to taste

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
In a 9x13-inch baking pan, combine chicken, bell pepper, onion, and garlic; squeeze the juice of one lemon evenly over chicken and vegetables.
3
Mix together 1 teaspoon lemon zest, oregano, lemon pepper and paprika.
4
Lightly coat all with cooking spray and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
5
Turn chicken and cook 30-40 minutes longer.
6
or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
7
When chicken is done, place on serving platter; add juice of the remaining lemon to vegetables and pan drippings.

No stars now since I didn't do this exact to the recipe and I just put it in the oven. ;O) I skipped the green bell pepper and added a little honey instead... 1 small onion sliced big... pre minced garlic... lemon juice in the bottle... skipped oregano... used pepper and salt instead of lemon pepper. I really wanted to try this but as I was making it I didn't have the ingredients. Well I hope it still turns out nummy!

I'm not one who usually uses drumsticks, so I made this recipe with 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, & was very pleased with the results. This was an extremely nice change from what used to be my plain breasts sprinkled with a little lemon pepper! I did up the amount of garlic to 2 LARGE cloves, 'cause I LOVE garlic! So great a recipe deserves to be made again & again! Many thanks for posting it!

I made these the day before and served them cold over a spinach salad. They were good but I think they would have been better hot. Without the extra lemon juice I served with them they would have been too bland. Next time it will be "hot off the griddle."
