INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 tbsp butter, divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-3 chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 tsp garlic powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 c. chicken broth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh parsley, chopped, to taste (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 tbsp lemon juice + zest of 1\/2 lemon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour for dredging<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt & pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Lemon Butter Chicken<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: In half lengthwise, slice the chicken breasts to make thinner cutlets. Then, sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In flour, dredge the cutlets, making sure they are evenly coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Into a skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets to the pan once the oil is hot and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden. Set the cooked chicken cutlets aside when done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: In the now-empty pan, pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice plus zest, and add the rest of the butter. Allow the mixture to bubble for a few minutes before returning the chicken to the pan. Continue to cook for a couple of minutes more or until completely cooked and the sauce has further reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
