How To Make chicken breasts with lemon

Step 1

Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over.

Step 5

Turn the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes, or until cooked through.
Step 6

Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken.
Step 7

Discard the oil.
Step 8

Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute.
Step 9

Do not burn the garlic.
Step 10

Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
Step 11

Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom.
Step 12

Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer.
