Simple Lemony Chicken (Low Carb)



Ingredients

1 pound of organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Garlic Salt

Pepper

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp finely grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio 

1 cup organic chicken broth

Instructions

Place Chicken breasts one at a time, in a ziploc bag and pound with a meat mallet.


Make sure not to over pound it or you will end up with chicken chunks.  But try and get it to about 1/4 of an inch thick.

Remove from bag and season both sides with Garlic Salt and Black pepper

In a shallow dish combine flour, lemon zest, paprika and garlic powder and mix well

Add chicken coating both sides with flour and then shake of excess.


If you don't have a lemon zester you can use a potato peeler lightly peeling the yellow skin without cutting into the white pith.  Then finely chop the peeled skin as fine as possible.  

Next...

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add the chicken and saute 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.  Add the lemon juice, wine and broth and bring to a simmer.  Cook 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Serve with rice or pasta
