Drescription

I made this lemon garlic chicken for dinner when all I had was chicken breasts and a lemon — it was so quick to make, flavorful, and delicious that I make it regularly now!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder, divided
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; cook for 2 minutes. Flip and sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder on the second side; cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. Enjoy!

Linguine with Lemon Alfredo Shrimp

This bright and lemony shrimp pasta dish was inspired by traditional Alfredo but comes in at only a fraction of the fat and calories. Reduced-fat cream cheese adds body to the sauce, while Parmesan cheese adds its signature robust flavor. This recipe calls for brown rice pasta, which is gluten-free, but if gluten is not a concern for you feel free to serve this sauce over regular linguine or fettucine—or any pasta you like!
