LEMON BASIL CHICKEN
This recipe is very simple to prepare, and tastes delicious. A perfect weeknight recipe. Do leave the skin and bones on the chicken pieces for more flavor and a lovely crisp skin. I typically double the recipe so that we can have leftovers. The recipe is from the cookbook Fresh & Fast by Marie Simmons. I serve with fresh seasonal vegetables.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, lemon zest, and portabella mushrooms will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken breasts, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
- Let the chicken rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add depth and flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Reduce the wine sauce until it thickens: This will concentrate the flavors and create a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice are all great options.
