Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 chicken breast halves, skinned and deboned
- 1/2 cup flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 envelopes Weight Watcher's chicken broth
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 4 lemon slices
- Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter or margarine in a large skillet; add garlic and onion; saute 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick slices. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken slices in the mixture to coat lightly. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter or margarine in skillet. Add chicken slices and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the onion, garlic mixture, then the lemon juice and broth dissolved in the hot water. Cook over high heat until the broth thickens slightly. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice and chopped parsley. (Instead of cutting the chicken into slices, you can pound it between two pieces of waxed paper to flatten to even thickness, then cook each piece whole. It just takes a couple more minutes of cooking.) I serve this with a rice pilaf.
