Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions: How to Cook Gio'S Sorrento Lemon Chicken

1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
2. In a shallow dish, season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried oregano to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. 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.
8. Stir in butter until melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve the Sorrento Lemon Chicken hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
