30 Minute Lemon Chicken

This has been one of my favorite things to make lately—there is just so much flavor! The chicken is juicy and the lemon makes it pop.  PS-I eat the lemon slices with the chicken, but you don’t have to. Quick and easy recipe=quick and easy intro.

Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, opened up if rolled

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon Aleppo or red pepper flakes (optional)

2 teaspoons canola oil

1/3 cup chicken broth

1 small lemon, thinly sliced and seeded

Directions: Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper and pepper flakes, if using.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the oil.

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 7 minutes or until golden on one side.

Turn the chicken, add the broth and lemon. Cook for another 7 minutes.

Turn the chicken again. Cook for another 9 minutes.

Turn the chicken one more time and cook for another 6 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
