PANFIRED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH OREGANO GARLIC BUTTER
Another winning low carb entree! This calls for bone in chicken breasts with skin, which keeps the meat exceptionally juicy. You could sub skinless, boneless breasts, but make sure to adjust cooking time and temp so the meat does not dry out. From Gourmet magazine.
