- LEMON-BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS
-
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 whole chicken breasts, each about 1-1/4 pounds, halved.
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
-
-
- In a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, heat the butter and the oil
- over moderately high heat until the foam begins to subside, add the
- chicken, patted dry, skin side down, without crowding, and saute it,
- turning it, until it is golden. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a
- baking dish and pour off the excess fat in the skillet. Add the wine and
- the thyme to the skillet, bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the brown
- bits, and pour the pan juices over the chicken. Season the chicken with
- salt and pepper, sprinkle it with lemon juice, and bake it in the lower
- third of a preheated 400o F. oven for 30 minutes, or until it is tender.
-
- Serves 4.
