This chicken is basted inside and out with the flavor of garlic-oregano butter. It's simple, with ingredients most people have on-hand, and it goes equally well with potatoes, rice, or pasta. A good weeknight meal! Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 bone-in chicken breasts, with skin |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Combine butter, garlic, salt, oregano and cayenne pepper.
2. Cut a 2-inch long pocket horizontally in chicken breasts, cutting deeply but not all the way through.
3. Put a tablespoon of the butter mixture into each pocket, being sure to get it all the way down in there.
4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil.
5. Cook chicken, skin side down, uncovered,until well-browned, about 10 minutes.
6. Turn chicken and cover skillet, then cook until chicken is cooked through, another 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Uncover, spread the remaining garlic-oregano butter on the chicken and turn chicken once more skin-side down.
8. Cover and brown for another 5 to 10 minutes.
