One of my family's favorites, and easy to make.Lemon Chicken
Ingredients:
4-5 boneless chicken breasts (preferably hand-boned)
1/3 cup bread crumbs(homemade are best. Just let bread get stale and pound it with a rolling pin)
1 Lemon
1/2 tsp dried thyme(or 1 tsp fresh)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 TBSP fresh sweet butter
2 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
1. Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap with a rolling pin or a meat tenderizing hammer.
2. Melt the butter over low heat in a large (12" or 30 cm. Saute' pan, adding the olive oil when the foam subsides.
3. Mix together bread crumbs, thyme, and the zest of the lemon in a shallow pan. Dip chicken breasts in the mixture to coat.
4. Place chicken breasts in pan over medium heat. Too hot will scorch the breadcrumbs. Cook until thoroughly done, about 6 minutes per side.
5. Quarter the zested lemon, squeeze juice over chicken. Serve it forth, as M.F.K. Fisher would say.
