Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Lemon Cream Sauce

 These sautéed chicken breasts with lemon cream sauce are seriously good and it’s seriously so easy to make. It’s a perfect weeknight meal because it’s so quick, but it’s impressive enough to serve to guests.  Just don’t tell them how easy it was to make. 😉

There really is very little prep to make this glorious dish.  You just have to quickly pound the chicken breasts out so they’re a uniform thickness and then coat them in seasoned flour.  

The flour step is important as it helps the chicken to get a nice golden crust. Because the chicken breasts are now relatively thin, they are cooked through in about 8 short minutes.

The tangy, creamy sauce is ready in minutes as well.  I have to tell you, a little bit of cream goes a long way, too.  

It’s only a quarter of a cup, but it’s just enough to thicken the sauce slightly and add a nice creamy texture, without adding a lot of extra calories.

We enjoyed this chicken with just a simple green salad, but it would be fantastic served over rice or mashed potatoes along with some roasted broccoli or asparagus.  Really whatever appeals to you.

Whatever you decide to serve with these, trust me, you need to make these sautéed chicken breasts with lemon creme sauce.

ENJOY!
