Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the Chicken: Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on the smooth side of each breast. Place in the skillet seasoned side down and cook without disturbing until brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the top side of the chicken and flip. Cook 1 minute over the burner; then transfer the skillet to the oven until chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Place on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • For the sauce: smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with the salt, and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Transfer to a blender with the parsley, mint, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Pour into a small bowl and adjust seasoning. Deglaze pan with the sauce, if desired, and serve with the chicken.

LAZY CHICKEN IN HERBED SAUCE



Lazy Chicken In Herbed Sauce image

Last month, at an antique auction, I bought a maple cookbook stand full of vintage cookbooks. The books start in the mid 1930's and chronicles the owner's interest in American food. This unbound 64 page version of "Yankee's Main Dish Church Supper Cookbook" contains excerpts from the 238 page original cookbook published in 1980. I would love to find the original cookbook. Many of these recipes evolved over time as they were passed on down through families and friends, from generation to generation. Lazy Chicken is an example of such recipes. The simple ingredients create an herbed flavored Hollandaise - like sauce. Posted to "Cookbooks and Cooking Tools".
