- 2 lemons
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 1/4 cup water, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 12 Fresh Sage leaves
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
2. Heat an oven safe skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in skillet. Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. When butter is melted place chicken pieces skin side down in your hot pan.
3. Brown the chicken, about 7 minutes on each side. While it is cooking, slice one lemon, and juice the second lemon.
4. Set brown chicken on a plate and set aside. Lower your heat to medium/low or low.
5. Add 1/4 cup water to deglaze the pan. (That means using a spoon to scrape up the burnt on bits. This adds great flavor) Add garlic and sage, stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the pan. Add 1/4 Cup of water. Then lay half the lemon slices on the bottom of the pan.
