Lemon Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce combines two recipes into one: lemon garlic chicken AND a lemon garlic cream sauce to keep the flavours going!
Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts , halved horizontally to make 4
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Cracked pepper
- Juice of half a lemon
- 4 tablespoons flour (all purpose or tapioca)
For The Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 medium-sized brown onion
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or 6-8 cloves garlic, minced)
- 1¼ cup chicken broth (stock)
- 2/3 cup light cooking cream*
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (adjust to your tastes)
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian mixed herbs**
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- Lemon slices or wedges , to serve
Instructions:
- Season chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice of half a lemon over each fillet, rubbing it into each fillet. (The next step is optional): Add the flour to a shallow bowl and dredge each fillet in the flour; shake off excess and set aside.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat until butter has melted and pan is hot. Fry the chicken until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer onto a warm plate.
