Ingredients

  • 21 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 3 large breasts, cut into 1- to 1-1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium lemon (quartered (optional, serve on the side))
  • 1 tablespoon heaping tablespoon of flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Dry the chicken cubes with paper towels and toss them with the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Trust me, don’t be tempted to ad more flour, the amount mentioned is perfect. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking, add the cubed chicken, and cook in one layer, for about 4-5 minutes, this will develop a lovely crust. Turn pieces of chicken and continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes.

    Meanwhile, combine the garlic and parsley in a small bowl. Add the butter and the parsley mixture to the skillet and saute for 1 minute longer, shaking the skillet occasionally to coat the chicken. Use a spoon to remove the chicken to a plate, leaving brown bits, extra parsley and garlic in the pan.
