Looking for a great chicken dish that the whole family will love? Treadmill Chicken is just that—kids love the crunch and you will love the tangy lemon mixed with garlic. My childhood friends and I have been making this since our early 20s (seriously my girlfriend called me while she was on the treadmill – hence the name- and we talked about what we could create for dinner that night). Our families love this delicious meal! The best part is you can add spinach to the inside or a different kind of cheese to make it personalized.

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken pounded thin
1/2 lemon, juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 EVOO
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp pepper

Directions:

1. Pound chicken breasts thin
2. Mix up EVOO mixture—EVOO, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper
3. In a spectate dish, mix up breadcrumbs, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
4. Dredge the chicken in the EVOO mixture followed by the breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat both sides before moving the next.
5. Take a slice of cheese and roll the chicken up around it. Use a toothpick it needed to hold it together.
6. Place rolled up chicken on a baking sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes (until internal temp on chicken is 165 degrees F)
7. Serve with a green veggie and top with a homemade marinara
