Herbed Chicken Breasts

I leave the skin on the breasts so I can stuff the herbs and garlic underneath.

Type: Chicken, Poultry
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 2 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Boneless chicken breast with skin - abt 12 oz
2   Fresh tarragon or thyme sprigs (small)
1   Garlic clove - thinly sliced (large)
2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/3 cup 78mlChicken broth
1 tablespoon 15mlChopped parsley

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken breast with your finger. Slip an herb sprig underneath each side of the breast, along with some garlic slices. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.

Place the breast in a small baking dish; add the chicken broth. Bake, basting occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 40 minutes.

To serve, cut the breast in half lengthwise and place on two plates. Reheat the pan juices slightly over high heat; scrape up any brown bits from the pan bottom and spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
