The ingredients needed to make Lemon Herb Butter Poached Chicken Breasts:
  1. Get 2 large bone in, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total weight
  2. Get 2 tbsp salted butter
  3. Make ready 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  4. Make ready 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  5. Take 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste
  6. Get 1 tsp hot sauce, such as Frank's brand
  7. Prepare 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  8. Take 1/2 cup mixed fresh herbs, I used Chives, rosemary, thyme, parsley and basil

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, basil, and lemon zest.

Steps to make Lemon Herb Butter Poached Chicken Breasts:
  1. Preheat oven to 250
  2. In a ovenproof skillet large enough to hold chicken in one layer,melt butter, add lemon, red hot and garlic
  3. Add herbs to butter mixture. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, pepper and salt and turn to coat with butter. Place chicken breast meat side down.
  4. Cut a piece of parchment oaper the same diameter as your skillet. Generously butter one side of paper. Lay paper butter side down on chicken to cover it. Then cover that with a tight fitting lid. Place in preheated oven and cook for 1 hour, without opening oven. Remove from oven and let sit covered 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. The chicken can be served now warm, strain the sauce and serve with rice or potatos. Or alternatively, the meat can be removed and added to tortillas and salads warm. I also chill the breasts and use for sandwiches and chicken salad and any place you would use cooked chicken

After the chicken is golden brown and crispy, it goes into a baking dish with some lemon juice, butter, garlic, herbs and chicken broth. If you have an oven proof skillet, you can simply brown the chicken breasts, pour the sauce over the top and bake directly in the skillet instead of transferring the chicken to a baking dish. Add chicken, garlic, shallot, bay leaf, thyme, and the salt to a medium pot. Place the pot over medium heat and heat until the liquid comes to a low simmer. A light lemony garlic and wine sauce covers herb-poached chicken breasts.
