This delicious and very easy to make chicken recipe was shared with me by Denise Schreiber, Horticulture/Design Manager,
Allegheny County Parks in Pittsburg, PA.
Denise says "This
also works well with chicken wings for a party serving. I love the lavender in herbes de Provence and sometimes even add a bit more. This herb is something
easy that most people can buy if they don't grow their own herbs and flowers."

Preparation:
Place chicken breasts, single layer, into anungreased 13x9-inch baking dish.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil and the herbes de Provence
together. Pour marinade over chicken breasts. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate to marinate longer (turning meat over several times).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes or until a
meat thermometer registers an
internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); basting several times during cooking. Remove
from oven and serve immediately.
 This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and
use in my cooking.
I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my
cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer
shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed
for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen
Thermometer is used by
chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click
