INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing the aromatics:

Cut onions is 1\4 inch slices. No need to remove skins. Line the bottom of the pan with slices. Mash the garlic cloves with the back of a knife. Again, no need to remove skins. Add to pan. Slice lemon and add to pan. Add 1\2 stick of butter in slices to pan. Add generous amounts of salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to pan.

Preparing chicken:

Cut 8 1\4 slices of butter and lay out on chopping board. Place 2 sage leaves on each pat of butter.

Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towel.With your finger, on the small side of the breast, work your finger under the skin and separate it from the meat. You want it to stay attached around the outside. This is an important part of it. Now slide 2 pats of sage & butter under the skin of each breast.

Add remaining sage leaves, stems, and everything to aromatics. Arrange the breasts, bone side down, on top of the aromatics. Liberally apply salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to breasts. Use lots!

Bake at 375 degrees for 90 minutes. (This recipe is also good on the smoker. Use same cooking temperature and time, hickory wood for smoke flavor, and the chicken will turn out moist and juicy). Serve chicken discard aromatics. Serve with yellow saffron rice and some kind of crusty bread. You won?t believe how good this makes your kitchen smell, or how great it tastes. You can even make it early in the day, cover it, put it in the frig, and pop it in the oven right before dinner.
