Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Garlic Chicken.
Step 1
Start by lightly spraying a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warming it over low heat.
Step 2
Once the skillet is ready, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to become fragrant and lightly golden.
Step 3
While the garlic is cooking, season your chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Step 4
When the garlic is just right, place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides.
Step 5
Next, pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Step 6
Bring this delightful mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 8
To ensure it's perfectly done, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once the chicken is ready, carefully transfer it to a serving dish, but don’t forget to keep the flavorful liquid in the skillet.
Step 10
Let that liquid simmer for about 3 minutes until it reduces slightly, intensifying the flavors.
Step 11
Finally, pour this luscious sauce over the chicken just before serving, and enjoy a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
