Mandy's Lemon Chicken

Mandy’s Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts

3 Tbsp. minced garlic

¼ cup EVOO

½ cup chicken stock

2 Tbsp. lemon zest

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

½  tsp. oregano

1 tsp. thyme

Salt and Pepper

Shallow dish of flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (maybe ½ cup of flour).

Directions:

Heat the oven to 375 degrees.  Butterfly each chicken breast and cut into 2 separate thin pieces of chicken (giving you 8 thin breasts).  Heat a large skillet with EVOO over med-high heat.  Lightly flour chicken and brown each side in the skillet, working in batches.  Transfer browned chicken to a 13x9 baking dish.  In the same skillet, over medium heat, add a little more EVOO (if needed) and cook the garlic for a couple minutes.  Add chicken stock, lemon zest, juice, and seasonings and let simmer for about 5 minutes.  It should thicken a bit.  Pour over chicken in the 13x9 dish.  Bake for 30 minutes. 

I love to serve this with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli… both taste so good with lemon.  When you serve it, spoon sauce over the chicken! I like to double the sauce.
