Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 small garlic head (peeled and sliced thinly)
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 chicken breasts (boned or not, but with skin)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a small bowl combine the garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper (I like a lot of pepper) to taste. Reserve half of the mixture for the sauce.

  • Step 2: Gently lift the skin of each chicken breast half to form a small pocket. Stuff each pocket with a quarter of the remaining garlic mixture.

  • Step 3: Grill or broil chicken breasts 8-10 minutes on each side until springy to the touch. Do not overcook.

  • Step 4: Heat the butter in a small skillet and add the remaining garlic mixture. Saute for a few seconds, add lemon juice, and heat through.

  • Step 5: Spoon sauce over chicken breasts to serve.
