We eat a lot of chicken in our house and I'm always looking for ways to make it new and fresh. Also, I love anything citrus so it makes this recipe from Southern Living, What's for Supper, a winner.
Lemon Chicken
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 cup flour
4 tbsp butter, divided
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
8 lemon slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
Melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 1/2 of the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Repeat procedure with 1 tbsp butter remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and remaining chicken breast. Transfer to a serving platter to keep warm.
Add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring to loosen any particles from the skillet. Add 8 lemon slices and remove from heat. Add parsley and remaining butter. Stir until it melts. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.
