Do not be fooled by the simplicity of this recipe. The results are outstanding. Like, invite people over for dinner good!

I’m using chicken thighs for this recipe and it’s really fabulous. Even though I’m a chef, I’m not one of those die hard dark meat people. I like the lean tenderness of chicken breast, but the thigh as a schnitzel is tremendous.

Start to finish this whole preparation takes about 20 minutes. And it's delicious! You can also add any extra vegetables you like, they will all steam really well and be flavored by the fish and butter. Learn this technique and you will use it over and over again. I promise.

A girl dinner. A first course. A lazy Sunday afternoon meal with a glass of crisp wine and a crusty loaf of bread.

Black pepper with citrus is a fantastic combination that makes this recipe sing! And, even better, the chunks of bread sop off the chicken and butter drippings as they all roast together. Simple magic!

Sweet and savory. What could be a better butter?! Use this butter for almost anything — we’re back in the 2010s — the bacon trend has been resurrected!
