Honeyed Chicken Bake

Honeyed Chicken Bake
from the Bountiful Blessings Cookbook, p. 201

• 6-8 chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper
• 1/2 c. honey
• 1 c. ketchup
• 1 large lemon, sliced
• 1 can peach halves
  

Arrange chicken breasts in a shallow baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Combine ketchup and honey; pour over chicken, turning to coat well. Place lemon slices over the chicken [SEE NOTES!]. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake chicken uncovered for 1 hour, or until tender. Turn chicken pieces halfway through baking. During the last 15 minutes of baking, increase oven temperature to 350 and arrange drained peach halves around chicken. Baste.

Notes: The lemons will take over the whole meal! Go easy on the lemons! I cooked them with the rinds for the whole time. Right after it was done cooking it tasted fine, but we couldn't even eat the leftovers because of the lemon domination. So maybe only use half a lemon and cook only half the time next time. Maybe even just squirt the lemons on it after it's done baking and not bake them at all.
