Easy Lemon Basil Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Sprinkle chicken, both sides, with basil (1 T per piece). It should be a liberal coating; you can even use more than what's listed.
2. 2
   Heat a fry pan on medium-high and add 1 T of the olive oil.
3. 3
   Mix remaining oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. Set aside.
4. 4
   Brown chicken in oil, both sides. Add liquid mix. Bring to a boil.
5. 5
   At this point you can either place chicken in an oven pan and bake at 375°F or just turn the stove down to a simmer; cook for 15-20 min for boneless and 40-45 min for bone-in chicken.
