Lemon Garlic Chicken
This rich and creamy skillet dinner is just the kind of thing I want to eat on cold winter nights. The chicken breasts simmer in a pan of lemon garlic goodness, and taste like they were made at your favourite neighbourhood Italian restaurant. 

Ingredients

  • boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • 1/2 teaspoon 

    kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon 

    freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning

  • tablespoon 

    olive oil

  • tablespoons 

    unsalted butter

  • small shallot, finely chopped
  • cloves 

    garlic, minced

  • tablespoons 

    all-purpose flour

  • cup 

    half-and-half or whole milk

  • 1/2 cup 

    low-sodium chicken broth

  • Juice of 1 medium lemon (about 3 tablespoons)

  • tablespoons 

    chopped fresh parsley leaves

  • small lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Thoroughly dry the chicken with paper towels. Generously season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, add the chicken and sear until deeply browned on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip with tongs and sear the other side until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When melted, add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add the flour, stir to evenly coat the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the half-and-half or milk and broth until no lumps from the flour remain, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce is thickened enough that it coats the back of a spoon and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the lemon juice into the sauce. Garnish with the parsley and lemon slices and serve immediately.
