Description

If you love lemon like I do, then you need to try this. Delicious and tangy!

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • Lemon Pepper To Taste
  • ⅓ cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Sauce:
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • Zest Of One Lemon
  • ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Sliced
  • Basmati Rice For Serving

Preparation

Place chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound thin. Season w/lemon pepper (can salt also, if desired).

Put flour in a shallow dish.

In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium or med-high heat.

Lightly coat each chicken piece with the flour mixture. Place chicken in hot skillet and brown on each side until juices run clear, turning once. Remove from skillet; keep warm and DON”T wipe the skillet clean.

While chicken is browning, stir together broth, zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, and green onions.

After removing chicken, add sauce to skillet. Scrape up the brown bits and stir sauce until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

Add chicken and any juices back to skillet and coat with sauce. Serve immediately with basmati rice.

I used the sauce of this as inspiration for a similar sauce to put on a chicken and cous cous ‘salad’ thing that I’ll post soon. Thank you! It turned out really well.

This was delicious! My boyfriend thought I just made chicken and gravy, but the lemon was a complete surprise to him! Served over spaghetti noodles, the sauce is perfect! Thanks so much for posting what I’m sure will become a staple for us!

oops, I already commented, but didn’t realize that I had to “review” in order to rate it with the oven mitts.

I gave it a 5 because it was quick, easy, and tasty! (my 3 criteria for meals)
