directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Press a rosemary and thyme sprig on each chicken breast.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the crushed red pepper and season with salt and black pepper.
  • In a large nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
  • Add the chicken breasts, herb side down, and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, turn and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chicken for 20 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the breast is pierced near the wing joint.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts from the skillet to a platter, cover and keep warm.
  • Pour off any fat in the skillet and set the skillet over a burner.
  • Add the chicken stock and cook over high heat, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • Whisk the flour and water mixture into the skillet and boil until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the pan sauce into a bowl and serve with the chicken.

  1. My husband and I loved it! Used dried rosemary and thyme. Still turned out great! I will put this on my list of standards!
     
  2. My whole family devoured these things! We used dried rosemary and kinda guessed at what looked right, but tons of flavor and healthy to boot! It was YUMMY!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
