Posted By Administrator On 28th August 2005 @ 13:28 In Poultry, Main Dishes, Phase 1 | No Comments

2 cups of water
8 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add garlic; cook for 10 minutes. Drain garlic; peel and cut into thin slices. In a small bowl, combine garlic, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, lemon peel, and salt. Mix well.

Cut chicken breasts in half, but not all the way. You want to create a “pocket” in them. Place about 1 teaspoon of garlic mixture between each chicken breast.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken; reduce heat to medium.

Cover and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Using paper towels, wipe any fat from skillet.

Add remaining chopped parsley, broth, and lemon juice to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute. Spoon mixture over chicken.

Serves 4
