Easy Lemon Basil Chicken image

This is a super easy, 5-ingredient, very flavorful entree that was given to me by a friend. You can cook it all on the stove-top or finish it in the oven. And it can be gluten-free.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup olive oil, divided
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup soy sauce (gluten-free)
4 tablespoons dried basil
4 chicken pieces

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken, both sides, with basil (1 T per piece). It should be a liberal coating; you can even use more than what's listed.
  • Heat a fry pan on medium-high and add 1 T of the olive oil.
  • Mix remaining oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. Set aside.
  • Brown chicken in oil, both sides. Add liquid mix. Bring to a boil.
  • At this point you can either place chicken in an oven pan and bake at 375°F or just turn the stove down to a simmer; cook for 15-20 min for boneless and 40-45 min for bone-in chicken.
