Succulent boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in a flavorful garlic lemon sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your components—fresh parsley, chicken breasts, garlic, and more. Chop the parsley finely.
- Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- When the chicken is nearly cooked through, introduce minced garlic into the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water. Add this mixture to the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let the cheese melt slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use about 3-4 breasts depending on servings needed for tenderness.
- Extra virgin olive oil is best for flavor and health benefits.
- Use firm garlic cloves for maximum aromatic impact.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential for the best flavor.
- Low-sodium chicken broth is recommended for a healthier option.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides a nutty depth.
- You can use store-bought or homemade Italian seasoning for a personal touch.
- Fresh parsley can be used for garnish and to add a pop of color.
