After searing, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and place them on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and an additional tablespoon of butter. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.
Pour in the lemon juice, chicken broth (or water), and milk cream. Season the sauce with nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
Creating the Garlic and Lemon Sauce
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken breasts simmer in the creamy garlic and lemon sauce for 25 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb all the delightful flavors.
Bringing It All Together
Once the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection, they should be tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the creamy garlic and lemon sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.
Serving Suggestions
This Best Chicken Breast Recipe pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving it with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. The creamy garlic and lemon sauce also makes an excellent topping for rice or pasta.
Tips for Perfection
Make sure to adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of your chicken breasts. Thicker breasts may require a few extra minutes of cooking.
For an extra burst of flavor, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the dish to your taste. Thyme, rosemary, or paprika can add an exciting twist.
