Provided by Jess Staldine

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup salted butter
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Place in a baking dish.
  • Stir lemon juice and zest into the leftover butter in the pan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half-and-half slowly. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips for even cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs helps to flavor and tenderize it. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is essential for this recipe. Bottled lemon juice will not give you the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it's golden brown: When searing the chicken, cook it until it's golden brown on all sides. This will help to lock in the flavor and juices.
  • Use a good quality crème fraîche: Crème fraîche is a key ingredient in this recipe. It adds a rich, creamy flavor to the sauce. Look for a crème fraîche that is made with fresh cream and has a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken will be tender and juicy, and the sauce will be creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This lemon chicken with crème fraîche is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
