Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water
  • 8 piece(s) Garlic, unpeeled
  • 6 cup Fresh parsley chopped, divided
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest grated
  • 1 tsp Sodium-free seasoning blend
  • 4 oz Chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup Reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups Fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add garlic; cook for 10 minutes. Drain garlic, peel and cut into thin slices. In a small bowl, combine garlic, 1/2 cup of chopped parsley, lemon zest, and seasoning. Mix well.
  2. Loosen skin from each chicken breast to form a pocket. Place about 1 teaspoon of garlic mixture under skin of each breast. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken skin-side down; cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken; reduce heat to medium.
  4. Cover and cook until no longer pink in center, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe any fat away from the skillet.
  5. Add remaining chopped parsley, broth, and lemon juice to pan. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute. Spoon mixture over chicken.
