While washing some dishes this weekend I caught a little bit of Barefoot Contessa. I am not that much of a fan, but my hands were wet and the lemon chicken breast dish she was making looked pretty good. We have not had much luck with lemon and chicken on our own, so I figured BFC would know her stuff and we tried it.
It is pretty simple. Olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, plus a little white wine. I went with chicken breasts with the rib cage still attached. She had the bones removed. I figured it would not make that much of a difference. It smelled great while cooking. The breasts did not brown as much as I would of liked, even after some broiling. The flavor was barely noticeable in the chicken and the sauce was meh over the rice. At least we tried something new.
