Garlic Lemon Chicken Breasts - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 small head of garlic, peeled and sliced thinly
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
4 chicken breast halves (boned or not but with skin)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Preparation
-
In a small bowl combine the garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper (I like a lot of pepper) to taste. Reserve half of the mixture for the sauce.
Gently lift the skin of each chicken breast half to form a small pocket. Stuff each pocket with a quarter of the remaining garlic mixture.
Grill or broil chicken breasts 8-10 minutes on each side until springy to the touch. Do not overcook.
Heat the butter in a small skillet and add the remaining garlic mixture. Saute for a few seconds, add lemon juice, and heat through.
Spoon sauce over chicken breasts to serve.
