Herbed Lemon Chicken

This sauce is dark and flavorful.  I love that it all cooks in the microwave.  It is a good one for hot summer days.

Herbed Lemon Chicken

4 serving sized pieces of chicken, breasts or thighs

rind from 1/2 lemon

2 tsp. butter

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

2 tsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. dried tarragon

1 tsp. dried parsley

Combine all ingredients, except chicken,  in a microwave safe dish which is large enough to hold chicken too. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir.  Clean chicken, skin if desired, and place in sauce ingredients, turning to coat.  Cover and cook on high 12-20 minutes.  (cooking time determined by cut of chicken) Check and redistribute chicken during cooking.  I like to spoon sauce over mine too.  Sauce may be served skimmed and thin, or thicken by mixing  2 Tbsp. water with 1 tsp. cornstarch and then add this to pan juices.  Microwave until sauce boils, stirring after 30 seconds.  Serve with rice. 4 servings.
