Easy Creamy Lemon Chicken
This Easy Creamy Lemon Chicken is a delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich and tangy lemon cream sauce. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner and pairs beautifully with rice or pasta.
Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the recipe. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and lemon zest, mixing well to combine.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it with the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the creamy lemon chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
