Here is a neat way to cook chicken if you do not have a grill...or if it is raining, as it was the day I made this juicy and delicious chicken dinner.
1-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp salt
In a large ziplock bag, place chicken breasts, then pour in remaining ingredients. Marinade 12-24 hours.
Heat a large skillet to medium and add 1-2 tbsp butter or olive oil. Take a cast iron skillet or another skillet that would fit inside the one that is heating on the stove top and cover the bottom with tin foil. Add the chicken to the oiled pan, then place the cast iron skillet on top of the chicken and weight it down with a brick or heavy can. This will put intense weight on the chicken and cause it to sear. Cook 5-8 minutes per side.
