Ingredients

Sauce:

3/4 fresh Lemon juice (about 6 Lemons)

3/4 C fat-free Italian Dressing

1/2 tsp. freshly ground Black Pepper

3 Garlic cloves, minced

Chicken:

2 C 1/4-inch Red Bell Pepper strips

1 C (1/4-inch) Green Bell Pepper strips

1 C (1/4-inch) Yellow Bell Pepper strips

3 Chicken Breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)

3 Chicken Leg Quarters (about 1 1/2 pounds)

12 (1/8-inch-thick) slices Lemon (about 1 Lemon)

Directions

To prepare the sauce, combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cover and chill 1/2 C sauce.

To prepare the chicken, combine remaining 1 C sauce, bell peppers, and chicken in a large bowl, and toss to coat. Cover chicken mixture, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Remove chicken from bowl, and discard the sauce.

Loosen the skin from the breast halves and leg quarters by inserting fingers, gently pushing between the skin and meat. Insert 2 lemon slices under loosened skin of each chicken piece.

Place the chicken pieces, loosened skin sides up, on broiler pan coated with cooking spray.

Spread the bell peppers on broiler pan around chicken.

Bake at 400 for 50 minutes or until the chicken is done.

Remove the skin from the chicken.

Arrange chicken and bell peppers on a platter, and keep warm.

Place 1/2 C chilled sauce in a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until warm.

Pour warm sauce over baked chicken and bell peppers.
