This is my favorite recipe to make for guests in the summer. It is light and flavorful! We used to have a lemon tree at our old home, and the trick was to find as many things to use up lemons as possible. Ingredients:
1 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 chicken breast halves |
cooking spray |
2 teaspoons butter or 2 teaspoons margarine |
8 thin lemon slices |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons parsley |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a plastic bag.
2. Flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
3. Lightly coat both sides of chicken with cooking spray; dredge chicken in breadcrumb mixture.
4. Melt margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat.
5. Cook chicken 4 minutes on each side or until done.
6. Meanwhile, sauté lemon slices in pan.
7. Add lemon juice and chicken broth.
8. Bring to a boil.
9. Add pepper and garlic to taste.
10. Garnish with parsley.
11. Lightly spoon sauce over chicken. Goes well with pasta.
