Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20–25 mins | Serves: 4

🍗 Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2–3 tbsp BlixSam Lemon Melt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon slices, for serving

🍋 Method

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides generously with BlixSam Lemon Melt.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic to the same pan and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir well, scraping up all those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the lemon-herb butter sauce generously over the chicken.
  6. Cover and cook for another 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with fresh lemon slices.
💡 SAM’S TIP: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking. It helps lock in those juices and keeps the chicken beautifully tender. 💛
🍚 Perfect with: Steamed rice, roasted vegetables, creamy mash or a fresh salad.
