Really good chicken recipe...Tuscan Chicken


Tuscan Chicken

3 lb boneless chicken breasts (or tenders)
1 c white wine
1/4 c olive oil
2 ea lemons -- juiced
sprigs fresh thyme and rosemary
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
salt and pepper

If using whole breasts, cut into strips. Mix all ingredients in a plastic bag and refrigerate for eight hours.

Drain marinade from chicken, strain, and cook over medium heat until reduced by half.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips on both sides until done. Deglaze pan with additional wine and add to reduced marinade. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce.
I made a mushroom pilaf to accompany the chicken using dried cepes that I rehydrated in chicken stock (that I then cooked the rice in) and fresh mushrooms that I browned with fresh thyme.
