Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large lemon, juiced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness, around 1/2 inch.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You might have to do this in batches.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the lemon juice and chicken broth to the pan, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, and basil. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Turn off the heat.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the dairy-free sautéed chicken hot with your choice of side dish.
