Ingredients

• Chicken – I used thin cut chicken cutlets for this chicken dish. Chicken cutlets are cut from the chicken breast and cook quickly.
• Seasoning – I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Flour – I dredged the chicken in flour. This gives the chicken a golden crust as well as thickens the sauce.
• Olive oil – I cooked the chicken in olive oil which gives a great flavour.
• Butter – Butter is used to make the sauce.
• Garlic – I used fresh minced garlic to add to the skillet which adds a lot of flavour to the lemon cream sauce.
• Chicken broth – This recipe uses chicken broth as a base for the sauce.
• Cream – I used heavy cream to make the sauce.
• Lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice adds a pop of tartness and freshness to the sauce.
• Lemon zest – I added the zest of one whole lemon to the sauce for extra lemon flavour.
• Parsley – I finished the dish off with some fresh chopped parsley for colour and a little fresh flavour.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Season chicken – Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge it in the flour and shake off excess flour.
2. Brown chicken – In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add all the chicken cutlets. Cook for about 3 minutes and flip over the chicken. Cook for a further 3 minutes and remove from pan.
3. Make sauce – In the same skillet, add the butter until it melts, about one minute. Add the garlic and bring it to a sizzle for about one minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium heat and add the cream, lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir well and reduce heat to low.
4. Add chicken to the sauce – Add the chicken to the cream sauce, cover and leave to finish cooking for about 10 minutes.
5. Garnish and serve – Remove chicken from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot off the stove.

Recipe Tips

• Make sure chicken is even thickness – To ensure even cooking, make sure your chicken is even thickness.
• Use a heavy bottomed skillet/frying pan – Okay, it’s important to use a heavy bottomed pan for this dish. You want to heat the pan to really hot before adding the chicken and better quality pans hold their heat better and more evenly. Otherwise, you risk burning the chicken before it cooks through.

Substitutions

• Chicken cutlets – I used chicken cutlets for this recipe. They are tender and cook quickly. Alternatively could could use chicken thigh cutlets, chicken breast or even chicken tenders. Keep in mind cooking time may vary depending on what kind of chicken you use.
• Fresh lemon juice – You can use store bought lemon juice for this recipe if you don’t have fresh.
• Heavy cream – You can use light cream or half and half no problem.
• Fresh parsley – If you prefer, fresh basil will work great as well.

Serving

As chicken goes with so many side dishes the possibilities are endless as to what you can serve this with.  That being said, because I love potatoes I would highly recommend the Potato and Leek Cakes or the Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.  Both equally delicious with this sauce. Of course you can serve with pasta! Garlic Knots are one of our family favourites and even the Rustic Loaf would be great.
