Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

2 large boneless chicken breasts, butterflied

2 T olive oil

1 tsp oregano, 

1 tsp thyme (I used fresh lemon thyme)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1⁄2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp lemon pepper

********

1/3 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)   

3 minced garlic cloves)

1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed 

1 tsp brown sugar 

********

lemon slices, optional garnish

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Butterfly the chicken breasts, or slice into two, and place them in a 9 x 13 baking dish.  (I used a pie dish)

3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt and peppers to create a thick marinade/paste. Coat the chicken breast with seasoning paste. Refrigerate for an hour.

4. Mix together the white wine, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Pour over chicken breast.

5. Bake for 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the pan juice, bake for another 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 F.  Garnish with lemon slices.
