Easy Creamy Lemon Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Place in a baking dish.
• Stir lemon juice and zest into the leftover butter in the pan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half-and-half slowly. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

Steps:

• Place the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, and place in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pan, carefully add the wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan to release any flavor stuck to the bottom. Add the cream, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, stir and return the chicken to the pan. Cook for 1 minute more, until the spinach has wilted. Garnish with basil and lemon slices.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, cut the chicken breasts in half, widthwise.
• Lay chicken flat and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Gently coat the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add the butter and oil, swirling together to coat the pan.
• Place the chicken breasts into the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Flip the chicken and cook the other side, another 3-5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of the chicken stock in the pan and scrape up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Add the rest of the stock and the cream and stir.
• Season with salt and pepper, and add the lemon juice.
• Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan and top with sliced lemons.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
• Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
• Serve with parsley and extra sauce.
• Enjoy!
