Lemon Pepper Chicken and Noodles

I said I was going to post a few things in week...yeah that obviously didn't happen. I get distracted by this:


Can you blame me?

Okay recipe time.

Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts
The juice of 2 lemons (you can just use lemon juice, but I don't know the exact conversion)
2 TBS vegetable oil
1 TBS vinegar
1 TBS sugar
2 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp basil
A bunch of spaghetti noodles, cooked according to package directions. (I really don't know this exact measurement, Daniel boiled the noodles for me and I forgot to see how much it was...whoops.)

Mix all ingredients besides the noodles and chicken to make a marinade. Once your marinade has been concocted, marinade the chicken for 30 min, longer if wanted.  After you have marinaded, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Don't waste any of the marinade, poor that straight in the pan as you are cooking. Once the juices run clear, put the chicken aside. Take your cooked noodles and pour them into the pan. Cook and stir for just a couple minutes until the noodles have absorbed all the extra marinade the chicken left behind. They will be a nice light brown color. Return the chicken to the pan and you are good to go! I guess you really don't have to return to chicken to the pan, you could just eat it...yeah.

The flavor really yields better to the chicken than the noodles, so if you just want to make the chicken that is fine. The noodles are still pretty good, but some people may think they need a little salt.

So, you may have notice no pictures...*insert lame excuse here*. It really is a simple recipe. I have faith you can all follow it perfectly without pictures, and if you can't, too bad! Okay, kidding. I'm always happy to answer questions in the comments.
