Zesty Lemon Chicken Delight

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• A generous cup of all-purpose flour
• A hint of onion powder, a touch of paprika, a dash of black pepper
• 1 beaten egg
• A dollop of unsalted butter
• A portion of Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth, divided into 3/4 cup
• A splash of lemon juice
• A bit of cornstarch for thickening
• A pinch of optional dried dill weed

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally almost all the way through, allowing them to open up like a magical book awaiting its next chapter.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, create a flavorful coating by combining flour, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. In another dish, beat an egg for a luscious dip. Gently coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the egg bath for a delicious embrace.

Step 3

Heat butter in a spacious skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan and let it sizzle to golden perfection on both sides, taking around 6 minutes in total.

Step 4

Pour a delightful mixture of 1/2 cup Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth and lemon juice into the skillet. Cover and let the chicken simmer until it reaches a tender, juicy state, which should take about 15 minutes. Verify its readiness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) with a trusty thermometer. Once cooked, set the chicken aside to keep warm.

Step 5

Prepare a velvety sauce by whisking 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth. Introduce this mixture to the pan, turning up the heat to medium-high. Stir diligently until the sauce thickens to perfection, usually in about 5 minutes. Finally, sprinkle the chicken with fragrant dill and serve it with the delectable sauce on the side.
