Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the lemon garlic butter sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
- While the chicken is cooking, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve the lemon garlic butter chicken alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
