    Place a Cast Iron Frying Pan into an oven and preheat at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

  4. 4
    Let sit for at least 5 minutes.

  6. 6
    Place the chicken into the Cast Iron Pan and bake for 35 minutes.

    To get an even browning, turn the chicken over half way through the baking time.
  8. 8
    Note:If a baking potato is punctured, microwaved on high for 3 minutes, and then coated with olive oil, it will be done in the same 35 minutes in the oven.

Mmmm the BF and I just enjoyed this simple yet fabulous recipe post-workout! I'm wondering how a 100-calorie cooked chicken breast turns into 243 calories total with only lemon juice, melted butter and pepper, but I don't care! Thanks, Bill, we both love it!

    I made this exactly how Brother William said to and it was great. It seemed like alot of pepper when I first put it in, but it gave it a really nice flavor. Thanks again this is a favorite.
