Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dust with flour, shaking off excess.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, oregano, and thyme, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

6. Stir in butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
