Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 3 lemons
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Zest 2 of the lemons to get approximately 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Then juice the same 2 lemons to get approximately ¼ cup of lemon juice.
- Cut ends off of the 3rd lemon, then slice to get 4 full lemon slices to garnish the chicken breasts, as pictured.
- Mix chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and brown each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Place chicken in a buttered 9x13 casserole dish. Pour lemon sauce evenly over chicken. Place a lemon slice on top of each chicken breast.
- Bake at 400℉ for 25-30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and spoon sauce over chicken. Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees.
Notes
- Olive oil can be used in place of the butter in this recipe.
- Serve this baked lemon chicken with mashed or roasted potatoes and green salad for a delicious and complete dinner.
- If you have leftovers, mix sliced lemon chicken with pasta and your favorite vegetable like broccoli or asparagus.
