A former personal chef, Wendy Collett discovered ways to create tasty meals using fresh ingredients. Adding fresh asparagus and creamy polenta makes an easy and elegant dinner for company.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add oil. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over chicken. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side. Arrange chicken in a 13 x 9–inch baking dish. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°. Remove from oven; cover and let stand 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add broth, juice, and rosemary sprig. Bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until broth mixture measures 1/3 cup. Discard rosemary sprig; stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve sauce with chicken.

This came out wonderfully! It was very lean. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and sprinkled the remaining rosemary from the sprig into the sauce to make it look pretty. I served it with sauted collard greens (made with chicken broth, garlic and sliced almonds) and it went very well :)

Great recipe! My chicken came out pretty rubbery, but I think my pieces were just too thick. Outstanding overall though.

Great way for cooking chicken quickly on a weeknight when time is scarce. Double the amounts given for the sauce ... the recipe only made about 1/4 cup! Next time, I'm using boneless chicken and will allow it to marinade for awhile and then bake.

The lemon flavor is very concentrated after simmering for 20 minutes almost to the point where it overwhelmed the chicken and rosemary. Next time I'll simmer it a bit less or use less lemon juice.

Loved this recipe. The ingredient list is short and readily available. Most importantly, it comes together quickly, but looks and tastes like you slaved over the stove. This is definitely a keeper. I served it as suggested, with green beans and creamy potenta.

It was easy to make with ingredients that I always have on hand, and it tasted fresh and delicious.
Fast and tasty for a week night
