A delightful twist on a classic, this Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken recipe combines fresh herbs and tangy lemon for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping during cooking.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to sizzle.
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the chicken for a golden crust.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Cover the chicken loosely with foil to keep it warm.
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Deglazing the pan adds depth of flavor to the sauce.
Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
This step allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over the top, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
