Brick Chicken Recipe - Amazing

I made this Brick Chicken on Saturday and it was honestly the juiciest chicken I have ever had and super simple to make. 


Ingredients

• 3 bone in chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 
• 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of butter
• 4-5 sprigs of thyme
• Salt & Pepper

Directions

• Heat a large skillet (cast iron is recommended) over medium heat. Wrap a smaller skillet in foil and find a brick, something equally heavy or 3 heavy cans. Season the chicken with salt & pepper on both sides. Place the olive oil & butter in the skillet to heat. Take the chicken breast and place skin side down in the oil/butter and scatter the thyme around the chicken. Take the foil wrapped skillet and place it on top of the chicken breast and place the brick in the skillet. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes and then check and adjust the chicken to ensure equal cooking of the skins. Cook like this for another 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is 3/4 of the way cooked. Flip the chicken over and cook on opposite side for 8-10 more minutes uncovered or until fully cooked. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5-10 minutes then serve and enjoy!!!
