Recipe from the Kitchen of Television's Favorite Chef, John Pisto

 
Brick Chicken
(Serves 4)
 
 
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts

  • one-quarter cup vermouth

  • 2 foil-covered bricks

  • 1 teaspoon butter

  • olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons dry oregano

  • 10 garlic cloves

  • 2 lg. lemons

  • 2 teaspoon Pisto's Sensational Seasoning

 

You will need an extra-large cast iron skillet. A second pan, large enough to hold 2 bricks yet small enough to fit inside the large skillet, will be used as a press (this pan's bottom must be clean or covered with foil). Cover bottom of first skillet with oil and whole garlic cloves. Heat over medium flame for approximately 5 minutes. Season chicken with Pisto's Sensational Seasoning, then place in prepared skillet. Cover with second pan and weigh it down with bricks. Cook approximately 8-10 minutes, over medium heat on each side or until done. Remove chicken from skillet and cover on serving plate. Add vermouth, butter, oregano and juice from lemons to skillet and stir until sauce is slightly reduced. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
