Hey guys! It’s Layla here from Gimme Delicious and today I’m going to introduce you to your new favorite weeknight dish! This one pan chicken is tender and delicious and simmered in the most creamy lemon garlic sauce.

Lemon and garlic is one of my favorite combinations of all time and it does not disappoint in this creamy dish. The ingredient list is super short and the cook time is under 20 minutes so this is great when you need a quick meal.

To begin, simply pan fry chicken breasts in a thin layer of butter and olive oil then remove from pan and set aside. Next add the garlic until fragrant then the broth and cream. Let this yummy sauce mixture simmer until thick and creamy then simple return the chicken to the pan and drizzle with lemon. I like to serve this creamy chicken with pasta or veggies and maybe a side of toasted bread to scoop up all the creamy sauce!
