I’m excited to share one of my favorite comfort food recipes with you today – Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken. This dish is perfect for any season and always brings a smile to my face with its bright and comforting flavors. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• chicken breast (boneless, skinless) – 400g
• olive oil – 30ml
• garlic (minced) – 4 cloves
• lemon juice – 60ml
• chicken broth – 250ml
• heavy cream – 120ml
• butter – 30g
• salt – to taste
• black pepper – to taste
• fresh parsley (chopped) – for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• meat thermometer
• wooden spoon
• whisk

Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Stir in heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken is best enjoyed hot with your favorite side dishes. The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 850g, serving 4 people with an average serving weight of 212.5g. Each serving is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of white wine when deglazing the pan for an extra depth of flavor. This simple addition takes the dish to the next level!
