    Skillet Lemon Chicken

    It's still not quite fall here in New England, which means I'm not ready to turn on my oven and let go of summer just yet. This is a great, easy recipe that can be prepared in about 30 minutes, and both the kids and adults will gobble it up. You can double the sauce if you'd like, and serve over angel hair for a fresh, Italian dinner.

    Dairy-Free Skillet Lemon Chicken

    serves 4

    4 thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    ¼ cup flour
    3 or 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
    2 Tablespoons olive oil
    the juice of half a small lemon, and lemon slices for garnish
    1 ½ cups chicken stock (I use unsalted, and season to my taste)
    ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
    fresh parsley for garnish
    salt and pepper to taste
    cornstarch and water for thickening

    Put your flour in a shallow dish, add the thyme, and combine. Heat your oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to your taste, and lightly coat with flour. Add your chicken to the pan, and brown, about 4 minutes per side. Set your chicken aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.

    To your skillet, add your garlic, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through (about ten minutes. The internal temperature should read 165°F).

    Remove your chicken and place on a platter, covering to keep warm. Make a cornstarch slurry (learn  how here), and whisk in a bit at a time while sauce is at a low simmer. Continue to stir for a few minutes, adding slurry until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper to taste, pour over chicken and garnish with lemon slices and parsley.
