Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon-Infused Chicken Breast.
Step 1
Start by giving your skillet a light spray of cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the skillet is hot, gently add the chicken breasts, allowing them to sizzle as they cook.
Step 3
Let them sear for about 10 minutes on each side, keeping an eye out for that perfect golden color.
Step 4
You’ll know they’re done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 5
For peace of mind, you can check with an instant-read thermometer; it should read at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into delicious strips.
Step 7
Now, let’s create a flavorful sauce in the same skillet! Whisk together apple juice, lemon juice, cornstarch, and chicken bouillon until everything is smooth and well combined.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium and let the sauce cook, stirring continuously.
Step 9
In just about 3 to 5 minutes, you’ll see it thicken and bubble, creating a delightful aroma that fills your kitchen.
Step 10
Keep stirring and let it cook for an additional 3 minutes to enhance those flavors.
Step 11
Finally, return the chicken strips to the skillet, allowing them to soak up all that tasty sauce.
Step 12
Let everything simmer together for 6 to 8 minutes, so the chicken can absorb the deliciousness.
Step 13
When it’s time to serve, you’ll have a mouthwatering dish that’s sure to impress! Enjoy your meal and the smiles it brings to the table!.
