This herb-infused lemon chicken recipe is a delightful twist on a classic dish, combining fresh herbs and zesty lemon for a flavorful and aromatic meal.
Combine the parsley, oregano, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Chop the herbs finely to release their full flavor.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't burn by keeping an eye on the heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned.
Cook the chicken in batches if your skillet is small to avoid overcrowding.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Place the chicken on a plate to catch any juices for added flavor.
Add half of the herb mixture and the chicken stock to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze.
Deglazing the pan adds depth to the sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes until cooked through.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature.
Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled on top and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture.
Garnish with a lemon slice for a fresh presentation.
