Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme |
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1 whole chicken breast (about 3/4 pound), halved |
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth |
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley leaves |
accompaniment: cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl stir together garlic paste, thyme, and 3 teaspoons lemon juice. Add chicken, turning to coat, and marinate, covered, 15 minutes. Pat chicken dry.
2. In a 9-inch heavy skillet heat oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté chicken, skin side down, until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken with tongs to a plate. Add flour to skillet and cook roux over moderately low heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in broth and remaining teaspoon lemon juice in a stream, whisking until gravy is smooth. Return chicken to skillet with any juices accumulated on plate and simmer, covered, 15 minutes, or until springy to the touch and just cooked through.
