A soul-soothing dish of tender chicken in a rich garlicky butter sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (9oz/250g each)
  • 1/4 cup plain flour (40g)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (120ml)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter (90g), divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Fresh lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by combining the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking, then generously coat them with the flour mixture.
  3. In a large frying pan, heat a splash of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken to the pan, cooking for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  5. Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken stock and whisk in the remaining butter, creating a slightly cloudy sauce.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, and serve with fresh lemon wedges for garnish.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.
