Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- kosher sea salt to taste
- Kosher black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour any flour would work
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided, or avocado oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves chopped
- 3 lemons juiced; 1 for serving
- ¼ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then dredge them into the flour.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through on both sides. Set aside.
- To the same pan add the remaining oil and quickly saute the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add the lemon juice and chicken broth and scrape off the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- As soon as it starts to bubble, stir in the dill and return the chicken back into the pan.
- Sprinkle with green onions and remove from heat. Garnish with lemon wedges.
Notes
- You may use boneless and skinless chicken thighs
- Use another protein like salmon or shrimp
- Any other oil works, try avocado oil in place of olive oil.
- If you don't have chicken broth, use vegetable broth
- For a KETO approved meal, skip the flour or use arrow root powder
