Chicken Breasts in Garlic Butter

Recipe from my cookbook: Reader's Digest Great Chicken Dinners.



Ingredients:
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Juice of one lemon
2 ounces minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp olive oil
2 chicken breasts
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter, cut up
1/4 cup snipped chives
8 ounces egg noodles

Directions:
Whisk together broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.

In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Add chicken to pan and saute 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. With slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate.

Whisk broth mixture to combine and pour into skillet. Bring to a boil, return chicken to pan, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and divide among plates.

Transfer chicken to dinner plates on top of egg noodles. Return sauce to a simmer. Remove from heat and swirl in butter until creamy. Stir in chives and spoon sauce over chicken.
