This is a super easy, 5-ingredient, very flavorful entree that was given to me by a friend. You can cook it all on the stove-top or finish it in the oven. And it can be gluten-free.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil, divided
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup soy sauce (gluten-free)
4 tablespoons dried basil
4 chicken pieces
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken, both sides, with basil (1 T per piece). It should be a liberal coating; you can even use more than what's listed.
2. Heat a fry pan on medium-high and add 1 T of the olive oil.
3. Mix remaining oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. Set aside.
4. Brown chicken in oil, both sides. Add liquid mix. Bring to a boil.
5. At this point you can either place chicken in an oven pan and bake at 375°F or just turn the stove down to a simmer; cook for 15-20 min for boneless and 40-45 min for bone-in chicken.
