Quick & Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe
This is one of my go-to recipes if I want to impress. Everyone has always loved this dish. This WAS a recipe that I would make for company. But since I’ve given out the recipe to all my family and friends and they make the recipe for themselves, I really can’t serve it to company anymore! Its easy to prepare, which is another plus.
Quick & Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- butter, margarine or olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 small lemons
Directions:
1. With meat mallet pound chicken breast to 1/4– 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into serving-size pieces if they are too big.
2. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a large baggy or on wax paper and coat chicken. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
3. In 12-inch skillet heat 3 tablespoons of butter, margarine or oil (I always have used butter). Cook 3 pieces of chicken at a time until lightly browned on both sides, adding more butter if necessary. Remove chicken pieces to a plate.
4. Reduce heat to low. Into drippings in skillet, stir reserved flour mixture, add broth and juice of 1/2 of lemon, stirring to loosen brown bits. Return chicken to skillet. Thinly slice remaining lemons. Top chicken with lemon slices. Cover; simmer 5 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender.
Makes 6 servings.
Enjoy!!
