CHICKEN BREAST WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Core tomatoes, cut in half horizontally, and remove seeds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place tomato halves cut side up on a rack in the oven and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until shriveled and partially dried. Puree half the tomatoes in a blender until liquefied, then add remaining tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. (Thin with a few tablespoons water if sauce seems thick.) Strain to remove any seeds and skins, and set aside until serving time.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blanch garlic in a small pot of rapidly boiling, salted water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Create a pocket for stuffing by running your fingers between the skin and meat of each breast, leaving one side attached. Season all over with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley and garlic. Divide into 6 equal parts and stuff each breast between skin and meat, spreading evenly. If necessary, tie skin to breasts to keep in place.
- Heat chicken fat or oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken, skin side down first, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven and bake about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes, to redistribute juices before serving.
- Whisk tomato puree and coat 6 serving plates with it. Cut each breast into 1/2inch slices, across width. Arrange slices over puree and serve.
CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY
This a great Jacque Pepin recipe. My DH told me he can have it every day. I cut down on the butter to 1 TBS and it was still very good. Make sure that you dry the chicken breast cubes well with paper towels before you season them and don't dredge them in the flour until just before sautéing. If possible, prepare this dish in a 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick), which is large enough to accommodate the chicken cubes in one layer.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a light pink color. Avoid breasts that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Flip the chicken breasts halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Chicken breasts with garlic and parsley is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a healthy and affordable meal that can be prepared in under 30 minutes. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
