• 1 tbsp

  minced garlic

• 1/2 tsp

  red pepper flakes (or more to taste)

• 1 tbsp

  olive oil

• 1/3 c

  finely diced shallots (or red onions)

• 2 tbsp

  salted butter

• 1/4 c

  heavy cream

• 2 tbsp

  chopped parsley or basil

Directions

1. Using a mallet, pound down the chicken breasts/thighs into ½ inch thickness. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken.
2. In a 2 cup measuring cup or a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, True Lemon, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
3. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and allow to brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. (Don’t worry if the chicken isn’t cooked completely, we’ll finish it in the oven.) Remove the chicken to a plate.
5. Reduce the flame to medium, add the shallots to the skillet along with the chicken broth mixture. Using a whisk, scrape the bottom of the pan so all the brown bits are loosened. Kick the heat back up to medium high and let sauce come to a simmer. Continue to cook the sauce for 10-15 minutes.
6. When the sauce has thickened, remove from the flame, add the butter and whisk until it melts completely. With the skillet off the flame, add the heavy cream, whisk to combine. Place the skillet back over the flame for just 30 seconds, do not allow the sauce to boil.
7. Remove from heat, add the chicken back into the pan and drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Place the skillet in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
8. Top with chopped parsley or basil and serve warm.
