Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 4 Tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 cups water
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tubs Knorr® Homestyle Stock - Chicken
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil and 2 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet.
I used my marble rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts, so they were all an even thickness. The easiest way to do that is to place them in a gallon ziptop bag and flatten them.
Dredge the flattened chicken pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
Brown the chicken on both sides in the hot skillet, rotating the browned pieces to a plate until all pieces have been browned.
When browning is complete, use the same skillet, with its pan drippings, to prepare the sauce. Add the juice of one lemon, remaining 2 Tablespoons butter, zest from the lemon, two tubs of Knorr Homestyle Chicken Stock concentrate, water and the chopped green onions.
Bring the sauce to a boil, add the chicken pieces back into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low.
Continue cooking until the chicken is done (10 minutes or less, probably. Remember the chicken is pressed flat and will cook quickly.)
The sauce will reduce and thicken, somewhat, as the chicken continues to cook.
