A creamy and zesty chicken dish that brings sunshine to your dining table, perfect for busy weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper, then lay them in the hot pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice and zest, and stir until well-combined. The sauce will start to thicken.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce heat, and simmer gently in the sauce for about 10 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. For customization, add red pepper flakes or your favorite herbs.
