Simply slice chicken breast in half lengthwise, season each piece with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.
Heat up oil in skillet with one tablespoon of butter. Cook chicken on both sides until nicely browned. Remove onto a plate.
Make the creamy sauce in the same pan by adding more oil, garlic and shallot and saute until soft and fragrant. Add lemon zest, lemon juice and chicken stock. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add heavy cream, stir and return chicken to pan. Let everything heat up.
Turn the heat off. Add remaining tablespoon of butter and let melt in the hot sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Since the chicken breast pieces are thin, they don’t take much time to cook.
he sauce in this Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken recipe is based on chicken stock and heavy cream. Make sure to scrape every cooked on bit from the bottom of the pan, while adding the stock. That’s where the flavor is.
Adding lemon zest along with lemon juice brings out the citrus flavor.
For a lighter sauce, you can use half and half or a mixture of milk and cornstarch so it will still thicken to a sauce consistency. For that, use 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of milk.
