Tomato Lemon Chicken Breasts with
Sage
(Makes 4 servings) This chicken is moist and flavorful and looks very elegant! Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil salt and pepper 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 large carrot, finely chopped 1 Tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon rind 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage 1 large tomato, chopped 1 chicken bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/3 cup water 1/2 cup dry white wine (I used Chardonay) 3 Tablespoons lemon juice fresh sage leaf, for garnish (optional) lemon slices, for garnish (optional) 1. Sprinkle chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper. 2. Over medium heat, lightly brown chicken on both sides for 5-7 minutes (it took a lot more on my stove); remove chicken from pan and set aside. 3. In the same pan, saute onion, garlic, and carrot for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until onion just starts to brown. 4. Add sage, lemon rind, and a little more salt and pepper; cook 1 minute. 5. Add tomato, bouillon, and wine. 6. Scrape up any browned bits in the pan and stir them in; bring to a boil. 7. Return chicken and any juices to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, turning chicken once. 8. Stir in lemon juice and cook, uncovered, 5- 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. 9. Serve with pan juices. 10. Garnish with sage and lemon, if desired.
