Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #chicken #recipe

Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 3 - 5 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs. chicken pieces
  • Salt, Pepper & Trader Joe’s 21-Seasoning Salute
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil (for more flavor, use oil from marinated cheese)
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 – 3 Tablespoons butter (or, for a more heart healthy option: 1 T. butter, 1 T. olive oil)
  • 6 – 8 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1 teaspoon capers

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken pieces all over with salt, pepper and 21-Seasoning Salute.
  2. Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on the bottom (about 5 mins), then flip and brown on the other side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan. Stir in the wine, about 1/4 of the sauce and stir to de-glaze the pan, then stir in the butter and garlic. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan and add the remaining broth. Cover and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, uncovering to baste the chicken with the liquid a couple times.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch.
  6. Add the lemon juice, thyme and capers to the pan. Continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.

Notes

I suggest serving this chicken with Basmati rice and steamed or roasted veggies.
