Equipment
- Large skillet
- Meat mallet
- Mixing bowl
- Kitchen tongs
- Chef's knife
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts 1.5 Lbs
- Olive Oil 2 Tbsp
- Butter 3 Tbsp
- Garlic 4 Cloves
- Whole Lemons 2
- Salt 1 Tsp
- Black Pepper 1/2 Tsp
- Fresh Parsley 2 Tbsp
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them until they are even in thickness.
- Season both sides of the meat with salt. Add a generous amount of black pepper too. This helps build a savory crust during cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in your large skillet. Place the chicken into the hot pan carefully. Cook each side for about six minutes.
- Remove the chicken and set it on a plate. Lower the stove heat to a medium setting. Melt the butter in the same warm skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Stir it for thirty seconds until it smells good. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the pan.
- Whisk the sauce to scrape up the brown bits. Place the chicken back into the bubbly sauce. Spoon the sauce over the meat for one minute.
Notes
- Use fresh lemons instead of bottled juice for flavor.
- Do not overcook the chicken or it becomes dry.
- Let the meat rest for five minutes before slicing.
- Make sure the skillet is very hot before searing.
- Mince the garlic finely so it blends into sauce.
- Add a splash of chicken broth for more sauce.
