Wonderfully delish dinner!

Friday nights are very special around here. I always cook favorite recipes and homebaked bread. Here's some of what I cooked last night. The chicken is so wonderful! It's a recipe found on the web somewhere but I can't recall where. Check it out:

















Here's the recipe if you'd like to give it a go:

Garlic Chicken with Lemon Fresh Herbs

3 cloves of garlic, chopped and smashed into a paste
1 bunch of parsley, chopped
1 tsp. Thyme
3 lemons, juiced
8 oz. dry Sherry
EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
salt and pepper

Cut chicken into 10 serving size pieces. (I use 12-5oz. chicken bre*sts) Season these with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in 2 Tblsp. or a little more of EVOO in large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Turn heat down and cook covered for 15 mins. Remove chicken pieces to a serving dish and keep covered to keep warm. Retaining the juices, add garlic to pan and cook gently for about 10 mins., being careful not to burn the garlic. Add Sherry and thyme and turn heat up to let sauce reduce to about 1/2 while stirring. Add lemon juice and about 3/4 of the chopped parsley and reduce again. Pour sauce over chicken and add the last of the parsley before plating food. Enjoy! :)

It looks scrumptuous! I love that there isn't a million ingredients too so should be easy enough for me ;)
