Simo's Lemon garlic chicken

Slave recently tried one of those food delivery services (It was a half price sale). So now I have 10 frozen chicken breast filets! Here is a great way to use them. This dish is dedicated to LGBT hero Ana Maria Simo. Read about her after the recipe.


Simple chicken baked with a lemon garlic sauce.





Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breast filets
3 Tbs. butter
1/3 cup chicken broth
4 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. honey
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
salt and pepper to taste (I used 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
optional: fresh rosemary and lemon slices for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.


Do your cutting: mince the garlic
Lay out the chicken into the sprayed dish.
In a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and salt & pepper. Pour sauce over chicken.


Anytime you have to measure some sticky substance like honey, first give the spoon a quick spray. Then the full measure will slide right out.


Bake 20-30 minutes (closer to 20 for smaller chicken breasts, closer to 30 for larger) until chicken is cooked through. Test with thermometer. It should read 160
Every 5-10 minutes spoon the sauce from the pan over the chicken.

Let the chicken rest while you fix green vegetables in the microwave.
Pair this with some roasted vegetables and a side of broccoli.
Garnish with lemon slices if desired and serve.


What a dish to set before your Master!

=============================
Ana Maria Simo





A New York playwright, essayist, and novelist. Born in Cuba, educated in France, and writing in English, she has collaborated with such experimental artists as composer Zeena Parkins, choreographer Stephanie Skura and filmmakers Ela Troyano and Abigail Child.

She has also made important contributions as a lesbian activist, co-founding projects such as Medusa's Revenge, the first lesbian theater in New York, the direct action group The Lesbian Avengers, Dyke TV, and The Gully online magazine. 
 
Ana Maria Simo was born in Cuba in 1943 and worked as a journalist in Havana. She was forced to leave the island during the political/homophobic witch-hunts of the late 1960s. She moved to Paris in time to participate in the student revolution of May 1968. Shortly afterward, she participated in women's and lesbian/gay activist groups for the first time, including the Gouines Rouges (Red Dykes), the MLF (Mouvement de Libération des Femmes), and the FHAR (Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire).

In the mid-1970s she settled in New York, where she began her career as an English-language writer.

In 1976 in New York, she co-founded the lesbian theater Medusa's Revenge with actor and director Magaly Alabau. In her book, Stagestruck: Theater, AIDS, and the Marketing of Gay America, Sarah Schulman writes,
"It is hard to find primary lesbian content on stage by an un-closeted writer before "Fefu and Her Friends" by Maria Irene Fornes in 1977. Or maybe it was Corinne Jacker's "Harry Outside" at the Circle Repertory Company in 1975. But, although each was sealed with a passionate kiss, both of these plays contained their lesbian content in subplots. Lesbian content was primary on stage at Medusa's Revenge at 10 Bleecker Street, the first theater in the world willing to produce our work."

Some of her most notable works include her 1990 play "Going to New England". The New York Times' Stephen Holden wrote that the play itself succeeded as "a study in physical and emotional claustrophobia" examining the traditions of Latin American machismo, Roman Catholic values, and erotic taboos.

Simo's "The Bad Play," a 1991 dance-theater collaboration with choreographer Stephanie Skura, also reviewed in The New York Times, was described as "a very broad and very funny parody" of the Hispanic soap opera with philandering doctors and cantankerous mothers-in-law.

Her 1989 short film, How to Kill Her, with Ela Troyano, premiered at the Lesbian and Gay Experimental Film Festival and later went on to win first place in The Latino Film and Video Festival. 


 
In 1992, Simo co-founded the direct action group The Lesbian Avengers with longtime lesbian activists Maxine Wolfe, Anne-Christine d'Adesky, Sarah Schulman, Marie Honan, and Anne Maguire. The original group's sole stated focus: "Lesbian survival and visibility." The Lesbian Avengers inspired chapters worldwide. Their annual Dyke March in New York City is perhaps the most visible example of the organization’s forceful and exciting legacy of public demonstration.

Shortly afterward, along with video producer Mary Patierno and theater director Linda Chapman, she created Dyke TV. The half-hour television program produced by lesbians, for lesbians was aired on Public-access television across the United States for more than a decade. It included a mix of news, political commentary, the arts, health, and sports.

Simo also co-founded The Gully online magazine (2000-2006) with writer and activist Kelly Cogswell, "to encourage activism and redefine and expand gay issues." It offered queer views of international news, U.S. politics, activism, race, class, LGBT issues, and included a Spanish edition.
