Herb Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

2 Chicken Breasts

1/4 cup Herb Marinade

1 pinch Sea Salt

2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Rosemary Sprig

1 Parsley Sprig

1 Marjoram Sprig

1 Garlic Clove

1/4 cup Chicken Stock

Herb Marinade:

3 sprigs Rosemary leaves

1 cup Parsley, roughly chopped

3 sprigs Oregano leaves

1 clove Garlic

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1 1/2 cups Thyme Oil

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts, marinade and salt.

2. Toss until breasts are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high flame.

4. Add olive oil to the pan.

5. Place chicken breasts in the pan, skin down, and press lightly.

6. Brown the breasts on the skin side only, approximately 3 minutes.

7. Remove from pan.

8. Turn the heat down to medium and add crushed garlic to the same pan.

9. Saute the garlic for a few seconds, then add whole herbs and chicken stock (or water).

10. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, skin side up, using the herbs and garlic as a bed.

11. Place pan in the oven, and roast until breasts are cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.

Notes

1. You can use the liquid in the pan as a sauce or use in place of water in any recipe for added flavor.

2. Allow the cooked chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing so they retain their juices better!
