Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sauté for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Lemon Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  3. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

  4. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and lemon sauce before serving.
