Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder

Sauce

  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 60 g Butter unsalted
  • ¼ cup White wine
  • ¼ cup Chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup Lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Into a shallow bowl, add the flour, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper and mix.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, coating it well. Repeat with all the pieces of chicken.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of oil. Place the chicken onto the hot oiled pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan while you make the sauce (Place the cooked chicken on a plate).
  • To the same pan, add the butter and melt it over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and lemon zest and cook until the garlic is golden brown mixing constantly.
  • Add the white wine and let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Then, add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and chicken broth, and mix.
  • Simmer for 2-3 minutes and add the chicken back to the pan. Simmer for another 2 minutes to let the chicken soak up the sauce and flavors.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use your favorite parts of chicken for this recipe. Like chicken thighs, chicken tenders, and chicken breasts. Ensure that you clean the chicken and that there are no bones for easy eating.
  • Do not disturb the chicken! Let the chicken cook for at least 3-5 minutes without flipping it so it will have time to properly form a crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken is cooked on the inside and prevents your chicken from drying out.
  • Make this dish for a crowd by doubling or tripling this recipe. You can use the recipe card below.
