Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair it with rice, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
