1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut horizontally
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons salt divided
- 4 teaspoons ground black pepper divided
- 2 lemons zested and divided
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture and set the rest aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of pepper, and the lemon zest. Rub the lemon-pepper mixture evenly on all sides of the chicken.
- Dredge the chicken in flour mixture to coat. Set chicken aside.
- Thinly slice one of the lemons, set them all aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly.
- Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in between batches, if needed.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the reserved 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is toasted, about 1 minute.
- Add the garlic, lemon slices and the chicken broth to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, and the garlic is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce and sliced lemons over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
