CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON
In this recipe, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1992 in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns, two teaspoons of lemon zest are added to a simple sauce of lemon juice, thyme, garlic and shallots. It is, at once, lively and elegant. To round it out, it needs a sturdy accompaniment. Mr. Franey suggested mashed potatoes with garlic and basil, with just a little olive oil swirled in.

Steps:
- Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over. Remove the excess flour.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Flip the chicken and cook for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken. Discard the oil.
- Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
- Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN PIERRE
This was the first meat recipe that my younger brother (Pierre) would reliably eat. He's older now, but this is still a family favorite. The sauce is incredible. It goes great with pasta, and even better on rice. This makes a lot of sauce, you could reduce it, but you'd regret it, people will want more sauce. I've been meaning to try this in a crockpot, if anyone does, let me know how it turns out.

CHICKEN BREAST IN A PORT AND RAISIN SAUCE
Steps:
- Soak the raisins in the port wine at least 1 hour or, preferably, overnight. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, saute the chicken breasts on one side until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Bake for 10 minutes. In the meantime, in the saute pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the shallots and sweat them for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute them for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and reduce until almost dry. Stir in the raisins and their soaking liquid. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream or evaporated milk, nutmeg, and cornstarch mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes, but do not bring to a boil. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce onto serving plates, set a chicken breast on top, and garnish with fresh herbs.

BREASTS OF CHICKEN BONNE MAMAN
When I create a dish, I am apt to give it a name - at the very least as a point of reference. When I made a dish with chicken breasts and small white onions, mushrooms and a little dry white wine, it reminded me so much of a meal served in my childhood home that I dubbed it "bonne maman," which means grandmother or granny. It is an excellent home-style dish that can be made in minutes. Simply cook the breast pieces in a skillet and add the onions. Ten minutes later add the mushrooms and wine. The total cooking time is less than 20 minutes.
