This extremely simple but delicious lemon butter chicken is perfect for nights when you want an easy chicken dish, but haven’t planned ahead with a marinade.
Ingredients
4 chicken breast halves, skinned and boned
1/3 cup flour
4-6 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 package egg noodles
Directions
Slice chicken crosswise into narrow strips. Coat strips lightly with flour.
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2-3 tablespoons butter. When butter is melted, add the chicken strips and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions, drain and lightly butter.
Remove the chicken to a dish. Add onion to the pan and cook until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add chicken broth to pan and bring to a boil. Add lemon juice and boil until mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup (4 to 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and add remaining 2-3 tablespoons butter.
Return chicken to pan and heat through. Serve with egg noodles and a side of leafy greens or steamed veggies.
