Method
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the pounded chicken breasts in the mixture and shake off any excess. You want a light, even coat.
- Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter foams and settles, add the chicken. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side without moving until the coating is deep golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and softened but not browned. Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Whisk in the tablespoon of flour and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, whisking constantly. Add a pinch of salt. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens and turns smooth and velvety.
- Place the crispy chicken on a serving platter and spoon the warm Christopher sauce generously over the top. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Store chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken in a 300 degree F oven for 10 minutes to preserve crispiness. Reheat sauce on low heat with a splash of broth, whisking to bring it back together. Do not freeze the sauce. For a keto version, skip the flour dredge and use heavy cream to thicken the sauce instead. European-style butter such as Kerrygold produces the richest sauce.
