The picture is not exactly how the dish looks. Your sauce will be light and filled with herbs. I haven't taken a picture of this dish, so I used the one on the website.
We found this recipe on Pinterest. It came from Women's Health Online.
Our Take: The original recipe called for mint, but we used Herbes de Provence instead because we had it in the pantry. I didn't have any fresh basil, so I used dried basil. We had fresh parsley. Fresh always has a little added flavor. The recipe calls for searing the chicken for two minutes, and then roasting for eight minutes. I actually seared for three minutes on each side, and I left it in the oven roasting for 20 minutes. I like to make sure the chicken is cooked through thoroughly. The sauce was wonderful. I love to make fresh sauces from scratch. It is a very fruity and herb filled chicken dish, and it's heart healthy! We serve with roasted zucchini, squash, carrots and onions.
Lemon Herb Chicken
This simple recipe has only eight ingredients, but each one brings major flavor. The lemon adds the tang while the herbs add an exotic, homemade touch. Serve with brown rice and a side of broccoli for the ultimate comfort meal.Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tsp olive oil
- 2 large chicken breasts
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1/3 C fresh parsley
- 1/3 C fresh mint
- 1/3 C fresh basil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/3 C white wine
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in an oven-proof skillet on high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 2 minutes per side. While the chicken cooks, put the remaining 4 tsp oil, along with the lemon juice, zest, and herbs, into a blender or food processor and pulse until well mixed. Place the skillet with the chicken in a 400°F oven to roast for 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and place the chicken on a plate. Season with salt and pepper, then pour the wine into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the herb sauce to the skillet and cook on the stove top for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
