Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Dry sherry
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice, then taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the chicken immediately with the garlic sherry sauce spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
