Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4-5 1 3/4-2 Pounds Thin Cut Chicken Breasts
- 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Sauce:
- 1 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 3/4 Teaspoon Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch Mixed with 2 Tablespoons Water
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Garnish:
- 1 Lemon Slice Thinly
- 2 Tablespoons Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
Directions
-
Mix together flour, lemon pepper and salt in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
-
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the chicken breast in a single layer, without crowding the pan (may need to brown in 2 batches) and cook 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown and there is no longer any pink. Remove the chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
-
Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil then add cornstarch/water mixture and continue to boil until thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add butter and stir to melt. Return chicken to pan. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices and serve.
