Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
3 sprigs fresh thyme

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
2
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, coarsely ground black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
