• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and stir until melted and combined into the sauce.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the herb and lemon sauce over them.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is warmed through and coated in the sauce.

Step 11

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fragrant and colorful garnish.
