PAN-FRIED GLAZED CHICKEN WITH BASIL - WW
I was just about to post this recipe and one other came up as nearly the same, although that one is broiled and missing the olive oil. It is a very good dish and the sauce works well with rice. I should try it broiled too, but I don't know if the pan sauce would be as good without the catch from the chicken. The original WW recipe is this one, plus 2 tbs olive oil. This is WW POINTS: 4 Exchanges: 3 Very Lean Meat.

Steps:
- Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. With a poultry shears or sharp knife, make two vertical cuts about 1 1/2 inch apart on each side of the backbone, all the way from the neck to the tail. Cut through the bones, and remove the backbone and tail. Open up the chicken so it lays flat.
- With the chicken still breast side down, use your sharp knife to slice through the cartilage at the top of the breast bone, working from the inside of the chicken. Hold the chicken in your two hands, and bend it backwards to make the breastbone pop out; pull out the breastbone and the cartilage. Use your knife to slice out the ribs from the inside, if you desire. Try not to cut through the skin.
- In a small bowl, mix the sage, salt, and black pepper. Use your fingers to rub the sage mixture all over the inside and outside of the chicken, and push the seasonings under the skin as well.
- Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Have a second heavy skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet) or a heavy Dutch oven ready for flattening the chicken. (If you don't have either of those things, wrap a brick in aluminum foil.) When the oil and butter just begin to give off wisps of smoke, place the chicken into the skillet, skin side down and flat. The "knees" of the chicken legs should point towards each other so the legs are flat. Place a piece of aluminum foil on top of the chicken, and weight it down with the heavy skillet or Dutch oven to press the chicken down as it cooks.
- Cook the chicken until the skin is crisp and browned, 12 to 15 minutes; carefully remove the weight and foil, and turn the chicken over so the opened-up side is down. Replace the foil and weight, and cook the chicken until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thigh meat, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or frying pan with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and the sauce thickens properly.
- Make sure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness so they cook evenly. If necessary, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken and use a little bit of oil or cooking spray.
- Don't overcrowd the pan with chicken breasts. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- When making the glaze, start with a small amount of honey and add more to taste. The glaze should be thick and syrupy, but not too sweet.
- Add the basil at the end of cooking so it retains its fresh flavor and aroma.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Pan-fried glazed chicken with basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful glaze made with honey, soy sauce, and ginger, and then topped with fresh basil. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
