As much as I like to think that on any given evening, I am prepped and ready to put a gourmet meal on the table with just a moment’s notice, it seems that reality likes to slap me in the face with a dose of the real world. There are days that it just is not going to happen. But I can dream, can’t I?
This was a crazy busy week of making marvelous meals for others, so when time for a mid-week dinner at home arrived, I was very pleasantly surprised by this recipe. It’s easy. It’s quick. But perhaps most importantly – it’s different! It has a wonderfully fresh and bright taste and is unique from every other sautéed boneless, skinless chicken breast recipe I have. It requires no special ingredients and will go well with a wide variety of side dishes.
The recipe comes from Cuisine at Home magazine, which recently has become a go-to resource for me. Admit it: You’re getting tired of more than half of the ways you prepare chicken breasts, aren’t you? I know I am. (My recipes that is, not yours — I’m not judging. Yours might be fabulous). But seriously, can’t you use another good chicken recipe. Here it is! Enjoy.
Spicy Garlic Chicken with Lemon Glaze
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp minced fresh garlic
¼ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp minced lemon zest
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp Tabasco sauce
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together panko, garlic, and oregano; place in a shallow dish. Dredge both sides of chicken with panko mixture.
Whisk together zest, lemon juice, honey and Tabasco.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Add chicken and sauté until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Add lemon juice mixture to the skillet; reduce until syrupy, about 1 minute. Return chicken to skillet, flipping them to coat in the glaze.
