This recipe is from Ina Garden on the food network website. I watched her make it on her show and had to try it. It's super lemony and delish!
Lemon Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup good olive oil
3 Tblsp minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 Tblsp grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 Tblsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 boneless chicken breasts skin on (I used skinless)
1 lemon
Preheat oven to 400. Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add garlic and cook for just 1 minute but dont allow the garlic to brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 tsp salt and pour into a 9x12 baking dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isnt browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the pan juices. EnJOY!
