Description
This bright and flavorful Lemon Chicken Romano features golden seared chicken breasts simmered in a tangy lemon-garlic sauce and finished with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan. It’s a vibrant Italian-inspired main dish that’s both weeknight-easy and dinner-party worthy.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Chop parsley and mince garlic. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Add minced garlic and pour in chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in cornstarch-water mixture and cook until sauce thickens.
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle with Parmesan. Let the cheese melt slightly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor.
Adjust thickness of sauce by adding more broth if needed.
Optional: Add capers or artichokes for variation.
