Garlic Butter Chicken with Lemon

This one-pan Greek-style butter chicken recipe is so good and easy to make. Sprinkle it generously with a teaspoon of salt and pepper. To tenderize and flatten the chicken, delicately cover it with a protective layer of plastic wrap and gently beat it using a mallet or a rolling pin. Prepare a medium-sized dish add half a cup of flour and carefully lay the seasoned chicken in the flour, coating it thoroughly to create a delightful crispy texture when cooked.

Shake off any excess flour then heat a skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of oil. Place the chicken in the pan, letting it sizzle and fry to a glorious golden brown, approximately 4 minutes on each side. Once its surface achieves the desired crispiness, remove the pan from the heat, setting the chicken aside, and allowing its flavours to intensify.

In another pan, add butter and minced garlic and let it infuse, maintaining medium heat, add a tablespoon of flour, enhancing the mixture’s texture. Pour in half a cup of chicken stock or broth, letting it simmer gently, forming the foundation of the sauce. Add one tablespoon of oregano and half a lemon to complete the Greek-style butter garlic sauce.

Let the sauce simmer until it thickens then gently introduce the fried chicken and reduce the heat to low allowing the sauce to gently simmer with the chiken. After about 2 minutes, remove the chicken from the heat and serve the Greek-style butter chicken over a bed of steaming rice. For the final touch, sprinkle sesame seeds and finely chopped spring onions, adding a delightful crunch and freshness to each bite. Enjoy…
