Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons flour
• Olive oil (to fry the chicken)
• For the sauce:
• 6 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Chicken stock (approximately 1 cup)
• 1/2 lemon (juice)
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• Fresh parsley to taste

Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1

  

  Cut the chicken:
  Start by cutting the chicken breasts into medium-sized cubes, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
  

• Step 2

  

  Season the chicken:
  Place the chicken cubes in a bowl. Add salt and pepper, mixing well to coat evenly.
  

• Step 3

  

  Coat with flour:
  Sprinkle the two tablespoons of flour over the seasoned chicken and mix again until the pieces are lightly coated. This will help create a golden crust when frying.
  

• Step 4

  

  Heat the skillet:
  In a large skillet, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  

• Step 5

  

  Prepare the garlic:
  While the chicken rests, chop the garlic cloves into small, uniform pieces on a cutting board.
  

• Step 6

  

  Melt the butter:
  In the same skillet (or a clean one), add the butter and melt it over low heat to avoid burning.
  

• Step 7

  

  Sauté the garlic:
  Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter and sauté until slightly golden and aromatic.
  

• Step 8

  

  Add the chicken stock:
  Pour the chicken stock into the skillet with the garlic and stir to combine the flavors.
  

• Step 9

  

  Thicken the sauce:
  Add one tablespoon of flour to the stock and whisk vigorously to prevent lumps. The sauce should begin to thicken slightly.
  

• Step 10

  

  Season the sauce:
  Add the juice of half a lemon and one tablespoon of pepper. Adjust the salt, if needed, to balance the flavors.
  

• Step 11

  

  Finish with parsley:
  Stir in freshly chopped parsley, gently mixing it into the sauce. This will add freshness to the dish.
  

• Step 12

  

  Combine the chicken:
  Return the fried chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to coat all the pieces in the creamy mixture.
  

• Step 13

  

  Serve and enjoy:
  Done! Serve immediately and get ready for the compliments. This chicken is irresistible!
