Herbed Chicken ala Pobre


Description:
Wonderful things do come out of the kitchen when you're in a hurry. This recipe came about in an effort to make dinner in less than 30 minutes. It has been a lazy Black Saturday and we were all busy watching "8 Below" that I forgot to marinade the chicken ahead to make it into chicken teriyaki. Anyway, this recipe is similar to my Roast Chicken with Garlic and Herbs, but this one can be done in a jiffy and very healthy too. But the crowning glory of this dish is the crunchy browned bits of garlic on top. This recipe will now be a regular at mealtime, whether I'm in a hurry or not.

Ingredients:
Skinless chicken thigh fillets
McCormick Italian Seasoning
Salt (I use pink salt)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Garlic, minced roughly


Directions:
Lightly brush chicken fillets with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and Italian seasoning on both sides. Be generous with the herbs!
Place chicken on a roasting rack then sprinkle with garlic.
Bake in a turbo broiler or oven pre-heated at 350F, and cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the garlic is golden brown and the chicken is done, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Do not overcook or the chicken will be tough.
Serve right away.
