Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Chicken Breasts (Boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil (Or light olive oil)
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt (To taste)
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper (Coarsely ground)
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (Cold, cubed)

  • 1 large Lemon (Sliced into rounds)

  • 6 sprigs Fresh Thyme (Whole sprigs)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

  5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring well to combine.
  6. Add the lemon rounds and fresh thyme to the sauce and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it, and cook for another minute.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken with lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
