350kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Equipment
- skillet
- spatula
Method
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
- Stir in the lemon zest and butter, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat it evenly in the sauce.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken. Serve immediately with the lemon sauce spooned over the top.
