Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken:
- Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
-
Brown Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown them on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
Deglaze Pan:
- Pour the dry white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
-
Add Flavor:
- To the wine in the skillet, add salt, pepper, and the juice of both lemons along with the remaining canola oil.
-
Bring to a Boil:
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced and fragrant.
-
Finish Cooking:
- Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Allow the chicken to cook in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
-
Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the lemon-wine chicken hot, spooning the flavorful sauce over the top.
This lemon-wine chicken is best served immediately, alongside your favorite pasta or a fresh green salad, for a simple yet satisfying meal that’s bursting with bright and tangy flavors. Enjoy! π½οΈπ
