Creamy chicken with a burst of zesty lemon. A satisfying and easy-to-make recipe.
Ingredients
- (3 breasts) Boneless Skin-On Chicken Breasts
- (to taste) Sea Salt & Pepper
- (4 Tbsp, divided) 1lb Unsalted A2/A2 Butter
- (1/2 cup, diced) 1lb - Yellow Onions
- (1 tsp, minced) 8oz - White Garlic
- (1 cup) 1 quart - Chicken Bone Broth
- (2 Tbsp) Fresh Lemon Juice
- (1/4 cup) 1 pint - 100% A2/A2 Guernsey Heavy Cream
- (for garnish) Fresh Parsley
Directions
- Heat a large 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Cook until the chicken starts to brown.
- Turn the breasts to cook on the other side, for about 5 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and a pinch of sea salt. Cook and stir for a few minutes.
- Add the garlic. Cook and stir for a few more minutes.
- Add the bone broth and lemon juice. Increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.
- Whisk in the heavy cream. Heat briefly over medium high heat, but don’t boil it.
- Add the chicken breasts and remaining butter to the skillet. Turn the chicken breasts to coat both sides with the sauce.
- Reduce the heat and simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken breast reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F. (74 degrees C.). Remove from the heat.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with a little fresh parsley. This dish goes well with potatoes, rice, pasta or a green vegetable.
