My husband's favorite dish! Adapted from the Joy of Cooking, one of my very first successful cooking attempts for my husband when I met him nearly 7 years ago. Ingredients:
2 -4 scallions, chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 cup chicken broth |
4 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 -3 chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons flour |
2 cups rice, cooked (optional) |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken breasts into palm-size pieces and dip both sides into the flour.
2. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a heated skillet. Cook the chicken breasts on medium heat until browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while cooking.
3. Place the chicken in warm oven (250 degrees) in a covered casserole dish.
4. Melt one tablespoon of the butter in the skillet you just used for the chicken and add the scallions. Stir and cook until slightly wilted.
5. Increase the skillet to high and add the chicken broth bringing the mixture to a boil. Continue stirring the mixture.
6. Add the lemon juice and boil for 3-4 minutes until the mixture has decreased to half.
7. Reduce heat to low. Add 3 tbsp of butter. Stir until butter melts. Pour over chicken in casserole dish. Let chicken sit in warm oven for 15 minutes before serving over rice.
