Instructions

Creating Lemon Butter Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Broth and Lemon: Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly for about 3-5 minutes.
7. Add Oregano: Stir in the dried oregano and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Return Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
9. Finish with Butter: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and combined.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
