Chicken with Lemon Confit: Plancha Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 lemon
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Begin by making the lemon confit. Cut the lemon into thin slices, discarding the seeds. In a pan over medium heat, add the lemon slices and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow the lemon to simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse lemon with cold water.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a large bowl, mix the minced garlic and olive oil. Add the chicken to the bowl, making sure that each breast is fully coated with the garlic and oil mixture. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the plancha to high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the plancha and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Add the lemon confit to the plancha for the last 2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to heat through.

Serving Suggestions:

Plate the chicken breasts and top each with a few slices of the warm lemon confit. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color. This delicious recipe pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
