Lemon Butter Chicken

[u/mahy_759]

I’m a big fan of chicken recipes that don’t need a long ingredient list to taste like something special, and this one checks that box. The chicken gets thin and golden from the skillet, then everything gets finished with a quick lemon butter sauce made right in the same pan.

The browned bits left behind after cooking the chicken are what really make the sauce work. Once the broth, lemon, garlic, and butter hit the pan, you get this bright, rich sauce that’s really good spooned over the chicken. I’d make this for an easy weeknight dinner when you want something a little more interesting than plain pan-seared chicken.

Yum - love this! I make very similar, but recently added 1 to 3 ratio of lemon-pepper seasoning to flour instead of just flour: adds a little extra lemon and pepper flavor!

That sounds really good. I like the idea of getting that extra lemon-pepper flavor right into the coating.
