CHICKEN WITH A LEMON HERB SAUCE



Chicken With a Lemon Herb Sauce image

This recipe (I think) is from Semi-Homemade Cooking, that show with Sandra Lee, the queen of "70% store-bought, 30% homemade, you take all the credit" fame. Her recipes are right up my alley because I can use all the help in the kitchen I can get to make things quick, but I still want them to be delicious and "homemade". As always, I'm leery about the recipes on tv because you never know if they're going to be edible or not. But the lemon herb sauce was great, especially since I served this chicken and sauce with angel hair pasta and I think that even if you chose to only make the sauce and serve over noodles, you'd still get raves. I adjusted some of the prep.

Tips:

  • For a crispier chicken, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • To get a nice golden brown crust on the chicken, sear it in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

This lemon-herb chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and zesty. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
