Marjoram was once known to sanctify marital bliss. So make this meal for the one you love. This woodsy marjoram infused chicken is so juicy and full of flavor. The sauce made with the graham flour roux for texture again plays into the woodiness of this dish and brings out the marjoram flavor. This pairs excellent with my Brussels Sprouts and Walnuts. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3 teaspoons kosher salt |
2 teaspoons black pepper |
2 teaspoons dry mustard |
1/4 cup of very fine chiffonade fresh marjoram |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 cup graham flour |
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth |
1 teaspoon spicy mustard |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Turn oven to 300°F and clean chicken breast under water and pat dry.
2. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper, 1/2 of the dry mustard, garlic powder and 1/2 of the minced marjoram.
3. Draw the mixture into the injector. If no injector make small holes in chicken and put mixture in with fingers.
4. Inject mixture just underneath skin in several different areas on chicken. Repeat to next chicken.
5. Rub remaining mixture over the chicken breasts.
