Lemon-pepper skillet chicken recipe from @bakedbyrachel Have dinner on the table in under 20 minutes!

We made it through the blizzard! No loss of power or anything to complain about really, besides the amount of snow (32 inches)! I swear with every storm we somehow end up in a sweet spot that just gets dumped on. This storm was no exception.

We were prepared for the worst, as I know many were. Better to be safe than sorry! Plus, bread will be eaten and water doesn’t go bad. Want in on a little secret? When a storm is coming, don’t go to the grocery store where it will inevitably be mobbed. Go to Target. Ours was a practically a ghost town. Seriously. I went Monday after seeing how mobbed the grocery store was. I already had everything I needed, but you know… non-essentials that help with your sanity while being trapped inside with kids bouncing off the walls. More snacks, coloring books etc.

Target. Sanity saver. Money eater.

Lemon-pepper skillet chicken recipe from @bakedbyrachel

I realized recently that I don’t have nearly enough regular non pasta or soup type entrees, so… here’s dinner! A non-pasta or soup for dinner, that’s tasty and super easy to whip up! Seriously, less than 20 minutes and you’ll have dinner on the table. I love quick meals like this!

Butter fried chicken breasts coated in a flavorful lemon-pepper seasoning. Refreshing, easy and an absolute must make! Serve with a green salad, rice or vegetables… and of course an extra spritz of fresh lemon juice! It’s sure to be a new family favorite!
