Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 3 TBS grass fed butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 squeezed lemon juice (about 1 TBS)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 TBS flour
Instructions
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half so each filet is 1/2 inch thick. Pat chicken breasts with a paper towel, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place chicken in the pan, and sear on each side for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate.
- Melt butter in the pan. Chop the garlic cloves, and add to the butter, allowing it to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of flour into the butter mixture. Stir for a minute, making sure to not burn the flour.
- Add the chicken broth and buttermilk to the pan, and stir to incorporate with the flour. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Reduce heat to low.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add lemon juice and stir. Remove from the heat.
- Serve with fresh herbs like rosemary, basil, oregano, or thyme. Fresh slices of lemon make this dish especially beautiful. Serve over rice or gnocchi. Mangia!
