••••LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN••••
        Cook: 20

Serves 6

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 large boneless chicken breast
  • Juice of one lemons
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tsps. Parsley
  • 2 tsps. Kosher salt
  • Cracked black pepper

Marinate

Cut the chicken breast in half and place in a zipper bag. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes up to overnight. I only have 30 minutes tonight, but the longer it goes, the more flavor you will have.

Preheat grill to medium. Place chicken on grill and cook 5 minutes on each side, then check for internal temperature of 165°F, continue to cook and flip every 2 minutes until correct temperature is reached.

••••BAKING TIP•••
••••TEFLON FOR THE WIN!!!

•Metal molds are much cheaper, but you have to butter them and flour them and sometimes also use parchment paper.  

•With a Teflon mold, you don't need anything else. You just butter it, you bake in it, and the cake or whatever you're making slips right out.

••••BAKING TIP••••
••••PREP MAKES PERFECT••••

••••Baking is not like cooking, which is about knowing the ingredients and working as you go.  Baking is about reading the full recipe, understanding it, making sure you have all the tools necessary to complete it and then doing it.
••••Also, measure ingredients at the beginning and line them up.  It takes more space in the kitchen, but it's always easier in the end.
