YIELD: 4 servings, each with 2 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 44 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cut up broiler-fryer
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt or Vege-Sal
- Pepper
- 3 tablespoons dried tarragon
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
INSTRUCTIONS:
- If your chicken is in quarters, cut the legs from the thighs and the wings from the breasts. (It will fit in your skillet more easily this way.)
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken, turning it once or twice, until it’s golden allover.
- Pour off most of the fat, and sprinkle the chicken with the salt and just a dash of pepper. Scatter the tarragon over the chicken, crushing it a little between your fingers to release the flavor, then add the garlic and the wine.
- Cover the skillet, turn the burner to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, turning the chicken at least once. Spoon a little of the pan liquid over each piece of chicken when serving.
