This Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken recipe is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining fresh herbs and a tangy lemon sauce for a dish that's both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Prepare the chicken by patting it dry and pounding it to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and prevents it from drying out.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast evenly with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping during cooking.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Using a combination of butter and oil prevents the butter from burning while adding flavor.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep it warm on a serving platter.
Cover the chicken loosely with foil to retain its heat.
Add the parsley and juice of half a lemon to the skillet, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan.
Deglazing the pan with lemon juice lifts the flavorful browned bits, enhancing the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with thin slices of the remaining lemon.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
