Description
A simple and flavorful chicken dish with a bright lemon butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream.
- Serve with rice or pasta to soak up the sauce.
