Ingredients
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to even ½-inch thickness if needed. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly dust chicken with flour on both sides, shaking off excess.
Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
In the same skillet, add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add lemon juice and simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce.
Stir in butter until melted and sauce becomes slightly thickened. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over top. Simmer gently for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley, arrange lemon slices around chicken, and finish with remaining lemon zest before serving.
