Lemon Butter-Glazed Chicken

Submitted by Sweet PQ?

"This easy recipe came from the dairy farmers and was a handout at the grocery store many years ago. It is quick and easy to throw together. I always add some grated lemon rind for added zing (I love lemon!)"

 

• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, slightly flattened
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder (I use low-salt)

directions

1. Coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
2. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan. Saute chicken breasts on each side until lightly browned.
3. Add water, lemon juice and chicken bouillon to pan, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
5. Cook & stir pan juices over high heat until thick and syrupy. This should take 1-2 minutes.
6. To serve, pour glaze over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices for presentation, if desired.

Ahhh, what a simple but tasty meal. I took liberties and did not use bouillon and just used low sodium chicken broth. I shook also about a teaspoon or two of garlic powder. This meal has endless possibilities of favorite add ons although it is just fine just the way you have it. The lemon was a nice touch to this also. I made it with Texas Garlic Toast and I can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!!! Thank you so much for posting this, Sweet PQ.

Very tasty. We probably would have enjoyed a bit more had we been able to find the low salt version of the chicken bouillon powder. Next time I will just try using chicken broth. This might be delicious with orange juice too. The chicken was tender and moist. I recommend doubling the sauce if using large chicken breasts. Thanks for sharing.
