Directions

1 Place an inch of flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour to lightly coat.
2 Heat a 12-inch skillet, heat oil (1/4 inch) over medium-high heat until a pinch of flour sizzles when dropped in.
3 When the oil is hot, add chicken breasts to the pan. Cook until the chicken is nicely brown on the first side, about 5 to 7 minutes, then turn and cook on the second side, about 5 to 7 minutes, lowering the heat a bit if the coating begins to scorch. Cook until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F).
4 When the chicken is done, remove to a plate and tent to keep warm. Add broth, lemon juice and parsley to the pan and cook, stirring until the liquid is reduced by half, about 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce.
5 Slice the chicken breast and serve on a bed of rice and or spinach drizzled with a little more sauce.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To make a speedy side dish, add 2 cups of fresh baby spinach to the pan after you’ve removed the chicken breast and heat through until it is just wilted. To serve, place the spinach on a plate to make a bed, slice the chicken and arrange on top of the spinach, and drizzle with more sauce.

To make a richer sauce, swirl 1 tablespoon of butter into the pan and melt it into the sauce before drizzling over the chicken.

Since I didn't have any parsley in the house, I can't give this an accurate rating. I added poultry seasoning and some basil in place of the parsley and it came out just delicious. I added some butter at the end like suggested, and I think I added a little too much as the sauce was somethick greasy. I'd add less next time or leave it out altogether. A quick, easy and very flavorful dinner.
