Loaded Chicken Breasts For One Food

DELICIOUS ONE SERVING CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Wait 5 minutes, then place a non-stick skillet on a medium heat element. Melt 1 tbsp butter in the skillet. Once it is half melted, add the olive oil. Stir. Add the garlic, and cook 1 minute. Do not let it burn!
• Sprinkle the chicken breast with the greek seasoning, half on each side. Place the chicken breast in the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on medium heat. Turn the oven off, but do not open the door! Flip the chicken over and cook for 6 minutes on low heat, covered.
• Remove the chicken and place in an oven-proof dish. Pour the skillet drippings over the chicken breast. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Place the dish with the chicken in the oven, and let it sit for 10 minutes without opening the door.
• Serve with the pan drippings over the chicken breasts. I cut mine up and then poured the drippings over. Delicious!

THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
• Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Working with one chicken breast at a time, place the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound with a meat mallet to 1/2 inch thick then transfer to a large bowl.
• Combine the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallion whites, garlic, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn the chicken a few times to coat then submerge in the marinade. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no more than 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade to a large platter, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill, covered, flipping once halfway through, until a digital thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Thinly slice the scallion greens on a bias and sprinkle over the chicken. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
