Description

Savor the vibrant flavors of tender chicken sautéed in a zesty lemon-garlic sauce. This quick and delightful dish is perfect for any meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and tools to streamline your cooking process.
  2. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Add minced garlic to the pan, cooking until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Deglaze with chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Stir in butter until melted and combined; finish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider incorporating capers or swapping chicken for turkey.
  • Pair your scallopini with pasta or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
