I spent the weekend at my daughter\u2019s, and she had picked up my groceries<\/a> before my arrival. My payment for house and pet sitting. Her boyfriend\u2019s son had a hockey tournament, so they needed to be away from home and wanted me to stay with the animals. I do this quite willingly for two reasons. First, who couldn\u2019t use a little pet therapy once in a while. Second, I rent a room, in a house. When my daughter goes away, I get to stay at her place and have a whole house to myself. It\u2019s great!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d asked for chicken breast so I could make chicken salads for the weekend. She chose thin chicken breasts which worked out perfectly. If I\u2019d had lemon, I would have used that as well. But I didn\u2019t even think to ask. Still, I was happy with the result.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard for me to know exactly how much of the other ingredients I used, as I don\u2019t always measure. I just kinda throw things together. It *usually* works out in my favor. <\/p>\n

Garlic Chicken Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 5 to 6<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 or 6 thin chicken breasts<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup Organic olive\/avocado oil (I had avocado oil on hand so used that) <\/p>\n

1\/2 a stick of butter<\/p>\n

1 tbsp minced garlic<\/p>\n

1 tbsp parsley<\/p>\n

1 tsp garlic powder<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp onion powder<\/p>\n

sea salt to tatse<\/p>\n

pepper to taste <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat the oven to 350*.<\/li>\n
  2. Place the butter into a baking dish and put the dish into the oven while it preheats.<\/li>\n
  3. When the butter is melted pull the baking dish out and place it on the stove top. Be careful as the pan is now hot.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the oil, minced garlic, and powdered garlic and onion to the baking dish and mix it with the melted butter, making sure the bottom of the baking dish is well coated. You can add more butter and\/or oil if you need to. <\/li>\n
  5. Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Let sit a moment and then flip them over in the pan being sure there is still plenty of the mixture under the chicken.<\/li>\n
  6. Sprinkle half the parsley, as well as some sea salt and pepper, over the breasts.<\/li>\n
  7. Place the baking dish back in the oven and bake the chicken for about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
  8. Pull the baking dish out of the oven and place it back on the stove.<\/li>\n
  9. Turn the chicken over, again being sure there is plenty of the mixture on the bottom.<\/li>\n
  10. Sprinkle the rest of the parsley along with more sea salt and pepper over the chicken.<\/li>\n
  11. Place the baking sheet back into the oven and bake another 10 to 20 minutes. You just want to be sure the chicken is cooked through. <\/li>\n
  12. Take the baking dish out of the oven and place on a towel on the counter. Cover with another towel if you need to keep the chicken warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
