Best 5 Garlic Lemon Chicken Hcg P2 Recipes

MOUTH WATERING BAKED CHICKEN - HCG PHASE 2

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine Melba crumbs with spices. Set aside.
• Mix broth and lemon juice in small bowl, dip chicken in this mixture and coat chicken with herb mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
• Add remaining liquid, a little at a time, if chicken dries out while baking.

LEMON AND GARLIC BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the chicken pieces to a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage the marinade around the chicken to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer, skin-side up, to a large cast-iron skillet. Pour half the marinade all over the chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle the chicken with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until the chicken is deeply browned, the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees F.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let rest while you make the sauce.
• For the sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the honey, oregano, garlic, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 cup skimmed drippings from the skillet and bring to simmer. Taste and season with salt and pepper, and if too tangy, add a bit more honey. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then garnish with the pimientos, chopped parsley and lemon wedges and serve.

GARLIC LEMON CHICKEN (HCG P2)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• Heat non-stick saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Add the onion. Stir constantly until tender, 5-10 minutes. You may want to add a little water or chicken broth to the saucepan, if needed.
• Transfer onions to glass baking dish. Place chicken breasts atop onions. Squeeze on lemon juice and sprinkle with pepper. Place garlic around and on the chicken. Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil.
• Cook for 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE (HCG FRIENDLY P2)

Steps:

• In a large heavy saute pan, heat the 3 tablespoons of Chicken broth over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces (if doing the HCG diet, be sure there are 6 pieces weighing only 3.5 oz each) to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add more broth as it evaporates, if needed. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute in 2 batches or more.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juice, capers, oregano and about half of the basil. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low-medium heat until the chicken is just cooked through.
• Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the remaining basil and serve.
