Chicken with Lemon Butter
Ingredients 0.5x1x2x3x
- ▢2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ▢Salt & pepper to taste
- ▢1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢Flour for dredging
- ▢1 tablespoon olive oil
- ▢3 tablespoons butter divided
- ▢1/2 cup chicken broth
- ▢2 tablespoons lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
- ▢spinach
Instructions
- Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt & pepper and the garlic powder. Dredge them in flour so they’re nicely coated.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook them for 4-5 minutes/side or until they’re nice and golden. Take them out of the pan and set aside.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice + zest, and remaining butter to the pan and let it bubble for a couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken back in and cook for another few minutes until it’s cooked through and the sauce is further reduced. Season with salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle the fresh parsley over top if using.
Notes
- If you buy particularly small chicken breasts, you can skip the step of cutting them in half lengthwise – just ensure they’re cooked through.
