LEMON CHICKEN
I am a new cook and I created this recipe for my boyfriend who loved his mother's lemon butter chicken to death but it was a bit heavy on the butter for me. My compromise utilizes half a stick of butter and has great flavor. Serve this over rice for an amazing dinner! Great leftovers too!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, shallots, and garlic; cook and stir until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 of the butter.
- While onion mixture is cooking, season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and toss to coat. Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Stir until chicken becomes opaque. Season with pepper again and add remaining lemon zest and juice.
- Pour in chicken broth and remaining butter; stir, cover, and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and stir into the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
