Ingredients:
4 Tbs. olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp. (packed) grated lemon peel
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth or white wine
2 Tbs. chilled butter
3/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1 Tbs. dried)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Heat olive oil in large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, add to skillet and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter and tent with foil.
Add lemon juice, garlic and lemon peel to same skillet. Stir over medium-high heat until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add broth or wine and boil until reduced. Add butter and stir to sauce consistency, then mix basil into sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon over chicken and serve for a simple one-skillet meal.
