Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

1/4 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 lemon

CHICKEN BREASTS IN LIGHT LEMON SAUCE

I found a version of this recipe in the paper and tinkered with it to try to lighten it up. This is what I came up with. Some times I saute sliced mushrooms and add them to the sauce. This is good served with rice.

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Melt margarine in a large skillet, add chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook over medium heat, turning once or twice, just until the chicken is no longer pink (this should take 6-10 minutes). Remove the chicken to an ovenproof pan.
  • Add the sherry, lemon juice and lemon peel to the stock in the skillet.
  • Add cornstarch to the evaporated milk, mixing well. Slowly add to the skillet, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil so it thickens.
  • Remove sauce from heat and pour over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over.
  • Place under the broiler until golden brown (should only take a couple of minutes).

6 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I actually use lemon pepper)
2 tablespoons margarine
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sherry wine (I have used wine in a pinch)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8-1/4 cup parmesan cheese (depends on your preference)

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON

In this recipe, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1992 in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns, two teaspoons of lemon zest are added to a simple sauce of lemon juice, thyme, garlic and shallots. It is, at once, lively and elegant. To round it out, it needs a sturdy accompaniment. Mr. Franey suggested mashed potatoes with garlic and basil, with just a little olive oil swirled in.

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over. Remove the excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken. Discard the oil.
  • Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
  • Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

LEMON SAUCE FOR CHICKEN

I love lemon chicken from Chinese restaurants but don't want to deep fry anything at home. So when I found this yummy sauce recipe I decided it'd be just as good over stir fried chicken breast strips. I've also made this with Splenda instead of sugar with good results.

  • Cut each chicken-breast half in half crosswise on a diagonal, to yield two pieces of roughly equal size. Place two pieces at a time between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound gently with the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy saucepan to flatten them slightly, to about ½ inch thick.
  • Toss the bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano, and salt to taste together in a bowl until blended. Spread 1 teaspoon of bread-crumb mixture over each piece of chicken, reserving the remaining crumbs. Roll each chicken piece into a compact shape with the bread crumbs running in a spiral through the center and fasten securely with a toothpick.
  • Arrange the filled chicken breasts side by side in a 13×9-inch, preferably flameproof baking dish. (There should be some space between the pieces of chicken.) Stir the wine, stock, lemon juice, hot pepper, the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the remaining teaspoon of oregano, and salt to taste together in a small bowl. Pour into the baking dish. Whack the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and scatter them among the chicken pieces. Bake 10 minutes.
