Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey. Whisk the mixture to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the lemon glaze over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for another 3-4 minutes, flipping once to ensure it is thoroughly coated.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
