lemon basil chicken

lemon basil chicken
  • 4 chicken breast halves, boned and skinned
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest


  1. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Flatten slightly using the smooth side of a meat mallet. Dust both sides lightly with flour.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Saute chicken breasts until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, basil, and lemon zest. Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer chicken to a warm platter. Cover loosely to keep warm. Boil remaining liquid over high heat, uncovered, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Spoon sauce over chicken.
