CHICKEN WITH A LEMON HERB SAUCE



Chicken With a Lemon Herb Sauce image

This recipe (I think) is from Semi-Homemade Cooking, that show with Sandra Lee, the queen of "70% store-bought, 30% homemade, you take all the credit" fame. Her recipes are right up my alley because I can use all the help in the kitchen I can get to make things quick, but I still want them to be delicious and "homemade". As always, I'm leery about the recipes on tv because you never know if they're going to be edible or not. But the lemon herb sauce was great, especially since I served this chicken and sauce with angel hair pasta and I think that even if you chose to only make the sauce and serve over noodles, you'd still get raves. I adjusted some of the prep.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish, so don't skimp on them. If you can, use herbs that you've grown yourself or that you've purchased from a farmers market.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This Lemon Herb Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The lemon and herbs add a bright, fresh flavor to the chicken, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, rice, or pasta.
