Lemon Pepper Chicken is simply delicious

Lemon pepper chicken is simply delicious when cooked under the right conditions with fresh ingredients.

I went to visit my friend with my husband. My friend wants to prepare some lemon pepper chicken for us and likes to chat while she is preparing the ingredients.

I like to have a glass of wine and kept up a constant conversation while she seasoned the chicken breast with the lemon pepper and heated their gas grill. She put on a large pot of salted water to boil and began making a salad.

She started the oven and placed a loaf of bread in to warm. The entire time she was preparing the meal we were chatting about different people and about our children.

My Italian Cooking

Italian cooking is popular around the world. There are Italian restaurants in the USA to Europe to Asia and the Middle East. I am sure there must be a few Italian restaurants in African countries serving pizza, pasta, sauces and those delicious Italian wines from Tuscany.

I enjoy Italian cooking on special occasions for my family.

My husband claims to love my cooking. I’m not sure what is wrong with him, but he does. He especially loves when I make Italian dishes, though we both know that I don’t really know anything about true Italian cooking.

I do make a good lasagna, and spaghetti is always a hit here, but it isn’t true Italian cooking, and we all know it. All the same, what matters is that we love it and it works well for us.

If you have the same affliction I do, you can do something about it. If you aren’t happy with sauce from a jar, you can most certainly learn Italian cooking to make your own special sauce to serve to your family.
