Ingredients

4 servings

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, divided

For the sauce

½ cup dry white wine
½ cup chicken broth
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 ½ lemons)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cold unsalted butter
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

For serving

4 lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the garlic-infused oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts smooth-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases cleanly from the pan.
