Review of last recipe - Walnut Sticky Buns (photo above) - It's embarrassing to realize that, although, the sticky buns did come out pretty well, I didn't follow the recipe very closely.  I just assumed I was having trouble because I don't make yeast dough often.  Note to self ...

TODAY'S RECIPE - HERBED CHICKEN SAUTE

Serves 4

2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp each dried savory and rosemary
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 3 lb chicken; cut into 8 serving pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp chopped shallots
2 tbsp minced parsley
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp lemon juice

In a large bowl, mix the flour, savory, rosemary, salt, pepper and 1/2 tsp each of the thyme and garlic.  Add chicken and toss.

In a heavy skillet, heat oil over high heat.  When smoking, add chicken; skin side down, and brown 2-3 minutes on each side.  Add wine and 1/2 cup broth.  Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 15-20 minutes; until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken to a warm platter.  Add shallots to pan juices along with the remaining 1/2 cup broth and the rest of the thyme and garlic.  Simmer 2-3 minutes over moderate heat; stirring frequently until syrupy.  Whisk in parsley, butter and lemon juice. Spoon over chicken.
