Instructions: How to Cook Gio'S Sorrento Lemon Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
- In a shallow dish, season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried oregano to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer in the lemon sauce for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in butter until melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Sorrento Lemon Chicken hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
