Something I came up with today. Fairly simple and should not take more then 40 minutes to make. I call it comfort food after a hard day at work
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts
1 stick of butter
1 bunch thyme (you can use 1 tbs dry thyme as well)
1 bunch rosemary (Same case here)
salt to taste
pepper to taste along with green chilies if you want it spicey
1tbs Flour
1inch piece ginger (chopped roughly)
4 cloves Garlic
White wine (any good cooking wine should do)
Instructions:
In a blender blend the butter, thyme, rosemary, salt,pepper (and or green chilies) ginger and garlic to a paste. Now slather the chicken breasts with the paste (make sure to make slits in the chicken breast so the marinade really gets in). Set aside for a couple of hours.
When chicken breasts have been marinated, heat a oven proof skillet with some more butter on low to medium heat, you dont want the butter to burn but should be hot enough, so that chicken will sizzle when it touches the pan. Once browned put the chicken in a 350F degree oven for about 30 minutes, (make sure you check the chicken to make sure its cooked through), if you feel it needs more time go ahead and cook for a little bit longer. All ovens vary and this is why i say this.
Once done, remove and set the chicken pieces aside on a plate and use the same pan to make the sauce. Turn the heat on to medium heat, once pan is hot, add about a cup of white wine or whatever kind of wine you want actually, and make sure to scrap all the good stuff from the bottom of the pan. You can add some Flour to thicken the sauce. When adding the flour make sure to incorporate it completely so no clumps form. Now add the chicken pieces back to the pan along with the sauce and simmer on low heat for about ten minutes.
This would go great with a side dish of roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. I will put the recipe for the roasted carrots up soon. As you can see this recipe is not for those on a diet, but making it once in a while wont kill you either.
Enjoy!
