Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw chicken tenders
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet. Sesaon the chicken tenders with the salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, brown the chicken on both sides. Work in batches and don't over-crowd the pan. Add more oil as needed.
- Remove the chicken and add the garlic. Cook for one minute. Add the chicken broth and simmer a few minutes to reduce and concentrate the broth flavor.
- Return the chicken to the pan (along with any juices) and simmer the chicken 2-3 minutes or until it is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a serving dish, leaving the juice behind in the pan.
- Cut the cold garlic into chunks. Remove the broth from the heat and add the lemon juice. Using a whisk, whisk in 2-3 of the cold butter cubes to the pan, whisking until melted. Add another 2-3 cubes and repeat until the butter is incpororated and the sauce is slightly thickened. Add the green onion and parsley and check for seasoning.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken tenders and enjoy!
