OVEN BROILED CHICKEN

The herbs lend flavor and health value. Tarragon is a high source of potassium, while rosemary provides antioxidant power. Parsley is mineral-rich and garlic will fight off the vampires.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • 1 cup toasted wheat germ 
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon 
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed 
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • Salt to taste 
 Preheat oven to 350° F. In a small bowl, place chicken broth and olive oil. In another bowl, mix together the wheat germ, tarragon, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Dip the thighs, one at a time, in the broth-oil mixture. Then coat with the wheat germ and herb mixture. Bake in the oven until brown and cooked through, about 45 to 55 minutes.
