This 🍋 Lemon Butter Chicken 🍋 is simple to make, yet loaded with flavor. And talk about juicy! Most importantly, it's a winner with both adults and kids!
Pat chicken dry. Mix all seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle each side of the dry chicken breasts with roughly ½ teaspoon of that seasoning mix, distributing it evenly on the chicken.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoon of the butter. Lay chicken down in skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Remove chicken from skillet once fully cooked (temp should be 165 °).
Lower the heat on the skillet. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and lemon juice, and simmer sauce for 1 minute. Return chicken to pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes more, turning chicken once to cover both sides with the sauce. Serve chicken topped with fresh parsley for garnish.
Notes
-The thinner the chicken is cut, the faster it will cook. A meat thermometer should read 165 ° when chicken is fully cooked.-Make sure your skillet isn’t too hot when you sauté the garlic or else the garlic will burn.-Feel free to drizzle the remaining sauce in the skillet over the chicken when plated.-This lemon butter chicken paired super well with parmesan asparagus and garlic knots.
