One Skillet Chicken with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless (or thighs)
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup shallots, finely diced (or red onions)
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons parsley or basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Using a mallet, pound down the chicken breasts/thighs into ½ inch thickness. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. In a 2 cup measuring cup or a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and allow to brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Don't worry if the chicken isn't cooked completely, we'll finish it in the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate. Reduce the flame to medium, add the shallots to the skillet along with the chicken broth mixture. Using a whisk, scrape the bottom of the pan so all the brown bits are loosened. Let sauce reduce for about 8-10 minutes or until about ⅓ cup of the sauce remains. When the sauce has thickened, remove from the flame, add the butter and whisk until it melts completely. With the skillet off the flame, add the heavy cream, whisk to combine. Place the skillet back over the flame for just 30 seconds, DO NOT allow the sauce to boil. Remove from heat, add the chicken back into the pan and drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Place the skillet in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Top with chopped parsley or basil and serve warm with additional lemon slices.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and it gave it a nice extra flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I shredded and added to the sauce. It was so good!

My chicken turned out a little dry. I think I cooked it for too long.
