This chicken is basted inside and out with the flavor of garlic-oregano butter. It's simple, with ingredients most people have on-hand, and it goes equally well with potatoes, rice, or pasta. A good weeknight meal!

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bone-in chicken breasts, with skin
1-2 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1
Combine butter, garlic, salt, oregano and cayenne pepper.
2
Cut a 2-inch long pocket horizontally in chicken breasts, cutting deeply but not all the way through.
3
Put a tablespoon of the butter mixture into each pocket, being sure to get it all the way down in there.
4
In a large skillet, heat olive oil.
5
Cook chicken, skin side down, uncovered,until well-browned, about 10 minutes.
6
Turn chicken and cover skillet, then cook until chicken is cooked through, another 10 to 15 minutes.
7
Uncover, spread the remaining garlic-oregano butter on the chicken and turn chicken once more skin-side down.
8
Cover and brown for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Very easy and quick to make. I did add more garlic and some white wine at the end as others posted. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe produces beautifully colored and lightly seasoned chicken breasts! I had my pan good and hot when I added the chicken (about 7 on the stove) and the times listed were spot on! I added extra cayenne to the top of my breast and left the other breasts with the recommended amount. I served this with Lemon Rice and steamed broccoli. This is a great family dish as the flavors are subtle and not overpowering so it is sure to please all ages. I am glad this recipe was suggested in the forum by Dawnab! Thanks!
