Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken with

Here’s a simple and delicious Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prep the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
2. Cook the chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C.)
   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the garlic butter sauce:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Let it melt, then add the minced garlic.
   • Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt.
   • Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan. Stir to combine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
   • Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
4. Combine and finish:
   • Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over it, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the chicken soak in the flavors.
   • If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
5. Serve: Plate your chicken with the sauce and serve with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
