Lemon Chicken
SERVES: 4 • TOTAL TIME: 40 MINUTES
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, cut into quarters
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain flour
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups thickened cream
½ lemon, thinly sliced
2 tbsp finely diced flat leaf parsley
¼ tsp sweet paprika
Directions:
Add flour to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken pieces in flour and toss to coat, then shake off excess flour.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat and cook chicken until golden brown (about 4 to 5 minutes each side). Work in batches if necessary so that you don’t crowd the plan and add extra olive oil if needed. Remove chicken from pan and place on a plate lined with paper towel.
Use paper towel to wipe most of the oil from the frying pan. Melt butter and then add garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken stock and lemon juice and allow to lightlu simmer.
Add cream and stir until combined and season to taste.
Return chicken to the pan and allow it to heat through and sauce to thicken.
To serve, add sliced lemons, and sprinkle with parsley and paprika.
