Ill be making it for my family again and again.

So, I was immediately curious when I heard about Katie Courics lemon chicken recipe.

And so, for that particular Thursday night, I forgot about the novel.

Classic was the name of the game (and this recipe).

Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet.

Carefully add the chicken breasts in a single layer and cook until well-browned.

Flip and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.

Set the chicken aside on a plate while you make the sauce.

Stir a few more spoonfuls of flour into the pan and cook for a minute.

Whisk in chicken broth and lemon juice.

Bring to a simmer and return the chicken to the pan to rewarm in the sauce.

Serve with fresh herbs and steamedbasmati rice.

Not everything needs to be new and exciting all of the time!

This recipe is easy and accessible, and perfect with a starch and green vegetable.

I did make a few alterations when I made it that I would recommend.
