Chicken Herbs de Provence
This chicken dish could be baked in the oven or prepared on the grill so you can enjoy it all year long. Make this Mediterranean dish by mixing a very simple marinade of olive oil, lemon and Herbs de Provence. These three ingredients create the most amazing flavor profile--it's a little minty, a little peppery, and enormously fragrant thanks to the addition of lavender. This chicken is not your standard meat and potatoes fare.
Serve this dish with some Garlic and Herb Mushrooms or Tuscan Style Roasted Carrots for a Mediterranean feast that you'll crave again and again.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 4 ounce each)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons Herbs de Provence
- Prepare grill to med/high heat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice and Herbs de Provence.
- Pour herb mixture on chicken breasts - coating each one thoroughly.
- Sit chicken in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to marinate and infuse flavors.
- Grill the chicken over med/high heat for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
To prepare in the oven: Follow the same directions for marinating. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
