Ina's Easy Garlic Lemon Chicken

 I was having an Ina kind of week.  I made a few recipes from her and as to be expected they were all delicious.  This recipe appealed to me because it looked simple, the ingredients were in my fridge, and it looked super tasty despite the lack of time it took to put things together.


I watched her make it and quickly grabbed a pen and paper to write down what I needed to do.  I'm pretty sure it was dinner that very same night.  Next time I'd go out to get chicken breast with the skin on to help keep the chicken moist instead of using the skinless chicken I had in the freezer.  Lesson learned- always listen to Ina.

Ingredients You'll Need & the Easy Recipe
  • 1/4 cup olive oil in a saucepan on medium high heat
  • Place 9 chopped garlic cloves into the olive oil for 60 seconds
  • Add 1/3 cup white wine, 1 Tablespoon lemon zest, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano and a 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.  Also add in 1 teaspoon salt and stir.
  • Place sauce in the bottom of a baking dish then top with 4 skin on chicken breasts that have been seasoned with salt and pepper and brushed with olive oil
  • Place 8 lemon wedges into the dish and bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, wrap with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
I served this up with some rice to soak up the delicious juice and green beans.  Easy peasy- and maybe your dinner tonight?!
