Pan-Seared Chicken with Garlic Sauce

Tonights meal was a favorite of the family's.  And to make it better it is a Weight Watcher's Recipe.. so this one will have a point value too.  We had Organice Corn on the Cob and Organic Brussell Sprouts along with Steamed Brown Rice as our sides!


Pan-Seared Chicken with Garlic Sauce

1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary

1/2 tsp Salt (I used 1/4 tsp)
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halved with fat cut off
1 tsp EVOO
12 med Garlic Cloves (I used about 2 Tbsp minced Garlic)
1 cup fat free, low sodium Chicken broth, divided

Preheat over to 450°
Combine 1st Five ingredients in a small bowl.  Sprinkle both sides of chicken with herb mixture.

Heat EVOO in large oven proof nonstick skillet* over medium high heat.  Add Chicken, and cook 2 minutes on each side.  Add garlic and 3/4 cup broth.  Place pan in oven.  Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until chicken is done and garlic cloves are soft. 
Revmove pan from oven.  Transfer chicken to platter; keep warm.  Add remaining 1/4 cup broth to pan.  Mash garlic cloves with fork.  Cook garlic mixture over heat 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated; stir.  Serve garlic sauce over chicken. **

* I don't put my skillet in the oven, I transfer it all over to a casserole dish to bake in.  
** I use minced garlic, so I basically skip this last step, because I put the whole cup of broth in the casserole dish when I transfer the chicken and cook it together.  This saves time and keeps the chicken really moist!!
