1-Getting started: with this lemon chicken is straightforward and fun. First, take your 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Season them with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, then dredge in flour for a nice golden crust.

2-Next, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side until they turn golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside to rest. This step ensures the chicken stays juicy and flavorful.

3-Now, add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the zest of half a lemon, and 2 more tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Let the mixture bubble for a couple of minutes to build a rich sauce. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for a few more minutes until it’s fully cooked through and the sauce reduces nicely. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe eating, then season with more salt and pepper as needed. For a final touch, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if you like.
