BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS



Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts image

I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BUTTERED LEEKS



Herbed Chicken Breasts With Buttered Leeks image

Here's an adaptation of a lovely, simple recipe created by Chef Jerry Traunfeld; it arrived in one of NPR's Lynne Rossetto Kasper's "Weeknight Kitchen" emailings. If you prefer, substitute 1/2 cup chopped dill for the 2 Tbs tarragon or marjoram. For leeks as a side dish minus the chicken, just carry out steps 1 and 2, then season to taste and serve. For a different side dish, carry out steps 1 and 2 but substitute sliced carrots for half the leeks and add garlic to taste plus a little lemon juice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and light green parts only
2 cups chicken broth (I use low-sodium) or 2 cups chicken bouillon (I use low-sodium)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
kosher salt
pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon or 2 tablespoons fresh marjoram

Steps:

  • In a large skillet bring the chicken broth and 2 Tbs butter to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Cook leeks in the broth mixture over medium heat about 8 minutes, until tender with the broth boiled down enough that leeks are not completely submerged.
  • Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and place on top of the simmering leeks, spooning some of leeks over the chicken.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, 10-15 minutes until done.
  • Remove chicken and keep warm on a warmed platter.
  • Increase the heat under the leeks to high and stir in the lemon juice, the remaining 2 Tbs butter, and the chopped herb. When the butter melts, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Pour the leek sauce over the chicken and serve.
