Crispy Chicken

This recipe was inspired by the Crispy Sonoma Chicken Breast at Bistro Aix, our favorite local restaurant. It was delicious!

How To Make It

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Boneless chicken breast, with skin still on
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper

Heat butter and oil in an oven safe skillet. Season top side of chicken with half the oregano, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Carefully place chicken top side down into the heated oil. Again, carefully, season the bottom side of the chicken. Let it cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn it over and place the pan into a preheated oven at 350 (f). Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and return to stove top.

I used the pan juice and added a little heavy cream and mustard to make a sauce. Tossed with some roasted asparagus and mushrooms and placed the chicken atop. There you go!
