Lemon Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce
First up, let’s set the vibe with a beautiful image of what we’re about to create:
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Here’s what you need to gather to make this dish sing:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Now that you’ve got everything ready, let’s cook:
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Next, dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess. This will give your chicken that nice crispy exterior.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
- Bring the broth to a simmer then stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it gently in that delicious sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
