Lemon Oregano Chicken

We are not big red-meat eaters in our house, so we end up eating a LOT of chicken. Pair that with a couple of finicky eaters and I am perpetually searching for new ways to prepare chicken. I came up with this recipe and it was a crowd-pleaser!

LEMON OREGANO CHICKEN

Ingredients:

• 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 Tsp Black Pepper
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 1 1/2 Tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Tbsp Corn Starch
• 3 T Butter

Directions:

• Flatten chicken breasts to desired thickness. 
• Mix garlic powder, pepper, salt, and 1 tsp oregano in a baggie. 
• Sprinkle mixture generously onto both sides of chicken. You won't need all of the spice mixture, so keep remaining spice mixture in baggie for next time you make this recipe.
• Melt butter in skillet and add chicken.
• Cook chicken until both sides are nice and browned.
• Reduce heat to low and move chicken to plate.
• Mix chicken broth with juice of half a lemon and corn starch.
• Pour broth mixture into pan and stir around to loosen brown bits from bottom. Bring to a boil until it begins to thicken. Reduce heat.
• Add chicken back to pan and sprinkle 1/2 tsp of oregano over top. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until chicken cooked through.
• If you want it to look fancy, garnish with a lemon slice. 
• Enjoy!

BON APPETIT!
