A delightful creamy lemon chicken dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Slice the lemon in half and rub the chicken breasts with the cut sides to infuse them with lemon flavor.
Rubbing the chicken with lemon helps tenderize it and adds a subtle citrus aroma.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then coat each piece evenly with flour.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated for a consistent crust when cooked.
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat, then brown the chicken on both sides until golden.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a nice golden crust on the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, white wine, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture in the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the Dutch oven, cover, and simmer gently, turning the chicken occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes.
Simmering gently ensures the chicken stays tender and absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a slice of lemon for presentation.
Adding a slice of lemon as garnish enhances the visual appeal and provides an extra burst of citrus flavor.
