Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large oven-safe skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Meat mallet (optional)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon​

Method
 

Preheat and Prepare
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Sear the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics
  1. In the same skillet, add the diced red onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Create the Sauce
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate the browned bits. Add red pepper flakes if using. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by about a third.
Finish the Sauce
  1. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the ghee or butter until melted and the sauce is emulsified. (
Bake the Chicken
  1. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each piece. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish and Serve
  1. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken. Serve hot, spooning additional sauce over each serving.
