Ingredients

1/2 gallon water
1/2 cup salt
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
8 cloves garlic (peeled)
2 lemons
6 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)
4 tbsp olive oil
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 lemon
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
fresh parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

Lay your first chicken breast flat on a chopping board.
Use a large sharp knife to cut sideways through the breast.
Continue to cut through the chicken breast, keeping the knife flat and parallel to the chopping board, until you have two chicken fillets.
Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
Pour about half of the water into a saucepan and add the salt, sugar, dried oregano, peppercorns and peeled garlic. Heat over a medium heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
Remove from the heat, squeeze the juice from the lemons into the brine, then add in the used skins.
Add the remaining water to the brine and allow the mixture to fully cool.
Once the mixture is cold, add the filleted chicken breasts and brine them for 3-5 hours.
Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC
Heat the 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet.
Add in 6 of the chicken breast fillets and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn and repeat on the other side. Remove them from the pan and transfer to a large baking dish.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and cook the remaining 6 fillets in the same way. Transfer them to the baking dish.
Thinly slice the garlic and scatter it around the chicken.
Cut the lemon into small chunks and arrange it around the chicken.
Sprinkle over the dried oregano and then pour over the chicken broth.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. (see note 1)
Remove the chicken and lemon pieces to a serving platter and mix the extra virgin olive oil with any juices that are left in the bottom of the pan.
Serve drizzled the extra virgin olive oil dressing and chopped fresh parsley.
Can be served hot or at room temperature.

GREEK OREGANO AND LEMON (ABM)

Greek Oregano and Lemon (Abm) image

Based on a recipe from Madge Rosenberg's book, The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever - Ethnic Breads. She says in its introduction, "You can smell lemons and oregano at sea as you come near the Greek islands that are not too stony to support growth. Oregano will grow between the cracks in rocks. This bread is comfortable with broiled or sauced fish. Toast, rub with garlic, and float in chicken or egg-lemon soup." Measurements are for the large 1 ½ pound loaf; measurements for the small (1 pound) loaf are in parentheses.
