The Doctor Will See You Now (Lemon Baked Chicken Breasts)

Carol discovered this recipe while waiting for a dermatologist appointment. It came out of Gourmet magazine. She wrote it down on the back of a receipt.
We got home tonight at 5:30 and sat down for dinner at 6:30.

LEMON BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

4 split chicken breasts
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp thyme, crumbled
Salt and pepper

In a cast iron skillet heat butter and oil over medium heat till foam subsides. Add chicken and sauté, turn till golden brown.

Remove chicken to baking dish and pour off excess fat. Add wine and thyme to hot skillet and deglaze. Pour the pan juices over chicken and salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lemon juice and bake in lower 1/3 of oven at 400 F for 30 minutes or until tender. Baste the chicken with the juices.

We served this with brown rice and green beans.







We had dessert, too! My niece, Leah, helped make the brownies.
