Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 4 - boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- - salt and pepper
- 1 cups - chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons - lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons - minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoons - red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoons - olive oil
- 2 tablespoons - salted butter
- 1/4 cups - heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons - chopped parsley or basil
- 1/3 cups - finely diced shallots (or red onions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Pound the chicken breasts/thighs down to 1/2-inch thickness; sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each side of the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine broth, lemon juice, garlic and red pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken pieces in skillet and brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes each side (chicken doesn't have to be completely cooked through as it will finish cooking in the oven). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium heat, and add the shallots and chicken broth mixture to the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen all the brown bits; let sauce reduce for 8-10 minutes or until about 1/3 cup of sauce is left.
After sauce has thickened, remove skillet from heat, add butter and whisk until melted completely. With skillet still removed from heat, whisk in the heavy cream until combined.
Return chicken to the pan and drizzle sauce over chicken. Place skillet in the oven for 5-8 minutes until chicken is completely cooked through. (If your skillet is not oven-safe, place chicken and sauce in an oven-proof dish and bake as directed).
If desired, garnish with chopped parsley or basil and lemon slices before serving.
