Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

When the butter is fully melted and the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, and lemon zest. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the lemon butter sauce over the top to coat the chicken thoroughly. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
