Lemon Chicken (with pasta) Serves 4-6
When you're looking for something light and refreshing, but filling, our
Lemon Chicken is the answer. Tender chicken breasts in a flavorful
lemon sauce served over pasta (or rice) is a great start to your meal.
Ingredients
• 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour plus 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• ¼ tsp pepper
• 6 boneless chicken breast halves, with or without skin on
• 5 Tbsp butter
• 4 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp chicken bouillon (I like Better Than Bouillon)
• 3 cups cooked pasta
• 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
You will need a large zip bag and a large skillet.
Instructions
1. Combine flour, parsley and pepper in the large zip top bag.
Add 2 of the chicken breasts to the flour mixture; shake well;
repeat with remaining pieces.
2. Melt butter in the large skillet; brown chicken on both sides
until nice and golden brown. Add the lemon juice and bouillon.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Internal temperature should be 165°F. Remove chicken.
4. For the sauce, add ¾ cup of water to the drippings in the
skillet; add the frozen peas: bring to simmer for 3 minutes.
Options
• Add cooked asparagus that has been cut into bite-sized pieces instead of
peas. Broccoli florets cut into small pieces would work too.
• You could also do rice instead of pasta.
