Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Chicken broth
• 0.25 cups Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 5

Add the floured chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the lemon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or gluten-free pasta for a complete meal.
