Garlic and Herb Lemon Chicken

in Foodies Bee Hive4 years ago

I’ve got a pretty decent collection of herbs growing in my garden now. I knew that I wanted to make chicken last night and this recipe is what happened. It was a hit with me and the family. Next time, however, I’ll make more of the herb rub to serve with the chicken. I think that this rub would also taste great on pork chops and even a nice skirt steak. If you try that, let me know.

This rub was something that I threw together without measurements, but I’m sure it will be easy to replicate. You’ll love to hear that it took about 3 minutes to put together the marinade and about 30 minutes total for the entire dinner. Now that’s my kind of weeknight meal. I had intended to grill the chicken but the heavens opened up and the rain came down. My cast iron skillet did the trick. I made a beautiful salad with with an oil and apple cider vinegar dressing and some steamed broccoli to accompany our chicken.

Do’t forget to add these for extra flavor.

This is the consistency you’re looking for.

Instructions

Put all of the ingredients, except for the chicken, into a food processor and pulse until a wet paste consistency.

Put the cutlets and herb paste into a ziploc bag and push all of the air out before sealing.
Use your fingers to work the rub around the chicken.

Let marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes or less if in a hurry.

Grill chicken or cook over medium high heat in a pan with some ghee for about 3 minutes per side, depending on how thin the cutlets are.
