Chicken with Creamy Lemon Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken with Creamy Lemon Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear.

2. Step 2

   In a resealable plastic bag, mix together a quarter cup of flour, salt, and pepper.

3. Step 3

   Add the chicken breasts in small batches, sealing the bag and giving it a good shake to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoned flour.

   Heat a generous amount of margarine or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Step 5

   Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them once, until they are tender and no longer pink in the center.

   Keep an eye on the heat to avoid overbrowning.

7. Step 7

   Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a warm plate, leaving the flavorful drippings in the skillet.

   Pour this mixture into the skillet with the reserved drippings, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and bubbles, which should take about a minute.
