Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- lemon slices and fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry, then season with salt and pepper on both sides. Evenly sprinkle both sides with flour, and gently shake off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the garlic cloves to the skillet, and cook for 30 seconds until golden and fragrant. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and honey to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until liquid begins to reduce. Add the chicken back into the skillet and cook 1-2 more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
- Serve, topped with fresh parsley and lemon slices (optional).
Notes
When slicing the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 cutlets, be sure they're all a similar thickness so they cook evenly. You can cover them with a piece of saran wrap or wax paper, then pound with a meat hammer until even thicknesses, about 1/4-inch thick. Cook until their internal temperature reaches 165°F.
