Ok, this is by far my most favorite way to bake chicken.  It is soooooooooo good.  I can not bill this as one of my money saving recipes but it is easy to make and  good once in a while one.  I do not remeber where I got this recipe but I have been making it for well over 10 years. 

Honey Lemon Chicken

1 c. flour

2 tsp. paprika

2 tsp. salt & 1/4 tsp. pepper

3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted, divided

1/2 c. honey

1/4 c. lemon juice

4 boneless chicken breasts, or 1 whole chicken cut up

Combine dry ingredients into a shallow dish.  Place 1/2 c. butter in another shallow dish.  Dip chicken in FLOUR mixture first, and coat.  Then put into butter, coating completely.  (Yes, I know this seems backwards, but trust me, it will be good)

Place skin side down in a single layer in a baking dish.  Bake at 400 for 30 min.

Meanwhile, combine remaining butter with honey and lemon juice.

After the 30 min,  turn the chicken skin side up and pour the honey-butter sauce over the chicken.  Bake another 30 min or until the internal temp is 180 degrees.

On the rare occasional time I make this, I serve it over brown rice. It soaks up the honey lemon juice.  It is real good served with roasted vegetables.  You can get my very easy recipe here.

Just wanted to say that my family absolutely LOVED this recipe! I have also served them the crockpot lasagna and they loved that one also. Thank you for sharing. I love reading your blog!
