A simple, comforting weeknight dish featuring tender chicken in a rich garlic butter sauce with a bright squeeze of lemon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 ½ pounds each), trimmed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided into chunks)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon (cut into 4 wedges for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  2. Butterfly the chicken into 4 even pieces. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Add minced garlic to the pan; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Add chicken stock, deglazing the pan.
  7. Add remaining butter, whisking until melted to create a sauce.
  8. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and return chicken to the pan.
  9. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat the meat dry before dredging for a better sear. Feel free to adjust garlic and lemon to taste.
