Generously spoon the hot lemon/oil/garlic mixture over the chicken.
Put the dish back into the oven and cook uncovered for another 20

the chicken is firm and does not ooze when poked with a fork. Baste
the chicken breasts two or three times in the lemon/oil mixture
during cooking.
Serve with pita bread. Serve each breast with a helping of potatoes,
some onions, and a tomato.
NOTE: Skinless breasts dry out too quickly. Remove the skins after
the chicken is done.
