Day 139

This is one of those old favorites

you cut out of some newspaper years ago and the paper is turning yellow

...and every time you eat it, you can't believe how delicious it is!
This photo is the first time I brined a chicken.
I forgot about it while I was decorating for the holidays
and ended up with Charcoal Supreme!

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ROSEMARY

4 Chicken Breasts skin removed

Squeeze 1/2 fresh Lemon juice over breasts

Sprinkle with a bit of Flour, Salt and Pepper

In a large oven proof skillet, heat couple of tablespoons of Oil

Brown both sides of chicken over medium heat

Optional: you may at this time sprinkle some Bread Crumbs over chicken

You could also throw in a clove or two of Garlic and maybe a splash of Wine

Place in 375 oven for 10 to 15 minutes until just cooked - do not dry out!

Make the Rosemary Butter:

Place 1/2 cup softened unsalted Butter

1-2 tablespoons of Olive Oil

1 tablespoons fresh chopped Rosemary

1 Garlic clove

Salt and Pepper

In a food processor and blend till smooth

Place cooked breasts on serving plate

Pan juices made be cooked down a bit (smash the garlic) and poured over meat

Put a small dollop of the butter on each breast

Serve with remaining butter

Fabulous in mashed potatoes, too.
