Description
A delicious and flavorful sautéed chicken dish with vegetables, enhanced by the zesty taste of lemon and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 cup chopped baby carrots
- 2 cups diced red potatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 large lemons
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- lemon pepper seasoning (to taste)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Remove the fat from the chicken breasts, cut into small cubes, and pat sides dry with a paper towel.
- Add butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Chop carrots into thirds, and dice potatoes into 12 pieces each.
- Place carrots and potatoes in pan with melted butter and oil. Allow to sauté uncovered, stirring every 3 or so minutes, for about 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and flour.
- Toss chicken in spice mix to evenly coat each piece.
- Move the potatoes and carrots to one side of the pan and add the coated chicken to the other side.
- Flip the potatoes and carrots and cook for 5 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Stir and flip the chicken until no longer pink; the chicken will finish cooking later in the process.
- Zest 1 lemon to get 1 teaspoon zest. Juice the same lemon to get 3 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Add zest and juice to a small bowl with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and minced garlic.
- Pour mixture into the pan and gently stir all the ingredients together.
- Slice the remaining lemon into thin slices and add to the pan; allow the ingredients to simmer on low.
- Stir the ingredients often until the liquid is absorbed, the chicken is completely cooked, and veggies are tender.
- Season with lemon pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Discard lemon slices before serving. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked through before serving.
