Baked Herb Chicken Breasts

Source of Recipe


From "2001 Chicken Recipes" by Gregg Gillespie






List of Ingredients



• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  
• 2 tsp olive oil
  
• 6 Tbsp white wine
  
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  
• 2 tsp crushed dried tarragon
  
• 2 tsp crushed dried basil
  
• 1 tsp hot red pepper flakes
  






Instructions



1. Position a rack at the center of the oven and preheat to 350° F.
   
   
2. Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Place the chicken between a double thickness of waxed paper and, using a kitchen mallet, pound to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Brush each chicken breast lightly with olive oil. Place the chicken into a shallow baking pan in a single layer.
   
   
3. In a small bowl, combine the wine, lemon juice, tarragon, basil and red pepper flakes, and pour this mixture over the chicken. Turn several times to coat, cover and bake until the chicken is fork-tender and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
