Thelma's Oven-Fried Lemon Chicken

from Hollyhocks & Radishes

3 Chicken breasts - halved
1/2 C lemon juice
1/2 C olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1-2 tsp Italian mixed herbs
1 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Place chicken in a shallow, glass baking dish. In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken, coating well. Cover and refrigerate overnight or a minimum of 6 hours turning occasionally.

Preheat oven to 325*. Bake chicken in same dish, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes, periodically basting with marinade.

Thelma liked serving this with barley cooked in chicken broth, broccoli florets tossed in lemon butter and "Baked Tomatoes in Cream"
