Easy Creamy Lemon Chicken Credits @NannyCooking @homemade_addict2 Ingredients: For the Chicken: • 2 large chicken breasts • Salt and pepper, to taste • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour • Olive oil, for cooking For the Creamy Lemon Sauce: • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1/2 cup chicken broth • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste • 1 cup heavy cream • Salt and pepper, to taste • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish • Lemon slices, for garnish Directions: 1. Prepare the Chicken: o Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thinner pieces. o Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian herb seasoning. o Dredge each piece of chicken in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. 2. Cook the Chicken: o In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. o Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). o Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. 3. Make the Creamy Lemon Sauce: o In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and melt it over medium heat. o Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. o Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. o Stir in the heavy cream, and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. o Taste and adjust the lemon juice and seasoning as needed. 4. Combine and Serve: o Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy lemon sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to heat through for a couple of minutes. o Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices. #southafricanblogger #foodie #foodofsa #forlove #foryou #homemaderecipes #easyrecipes #youtube #tiktok #ramadanpreps #ramadan2020 #ramadanza #southafricahalaal #viralpost #chicken #followerforfollow #allrecipes #instagram #kitchenpassionista
