Warm, zesty, and comforting, this dish features golden, juicy chicken with a silky lemon garlic butter sauce alongside creamy parmesan pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet and fats. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Cook until the butter is melted and foaming.
  2. Season the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Cook the chicken. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 to 14 minutes.
  4. Rest the chicken. Remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
  5. Sauté the garlic. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Build the lemon sauce. Add the lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stirring to combine.
  7. Warm the chicken in the sauce. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the lemon garlic butter sauce over the breasts, warming for 1 minute.
  8. Serve. Plate the chicken, spooning extra sauce on top, and serve hot with creamy parmesan pasta on the side.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate cooked chicken and sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying the meat.
