1 head garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 lemon, zest of
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap the garlic head in foil, and bake 30 minutes, until cloves are soft. Remove from heat, and cool enough to handle.

Reduce heat, and return chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking the chicken about 5 minutes on each side, until no longer pink and the juices run clear. Remove chicken, and arrange on plates.
5
Mix the butter into the garlic sauce mixture in the skillet until melted, and stir in the chives. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with rice and vegetables.
