Ingredients
- 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)
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.
