Easy Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Flour (for dredging)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional, to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt & pepper and the garlic powder. Dredge them in flour so they're nicely coated.

2. 2

   Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook them for 4-5 minutes/side or until they're nice and golden. Take them out of the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Add the chicken broth, lemon juice + zest, and remaining butter to the pan and let it bubble for a couple of minutes.

4. 4

   Add the chicken back in and cook for another few minutes until it's cooked through and the sauce is further reduced. Season with salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle the fresh parsley over top if using.
