Garlic Smothered Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 Good Ranchers’ Chicken Breasts
• 1 cup Flour (for dredging)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 whole head of Garlic (separate the cloves)
• ½ cup Chicken Broth (or white wine)
• ½ tsp Lemon Juice
• ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 cup heavy/whipping Cream
• Salt and Pepper

Instructions:

1. Between two pieces of parchment paper, pound the chicken breasts thin (1/2 inch thickness). Generously salt and pepper the chicken and then dredge in flour. *Skip the extra salt & pepper if you're using Good Ranchers marinated chicken.
2. Add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden in color. Set the chicken aside on a paper towel-lined tray to make the sauce. 
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the rest of the butter to the skillet. Add garlic cloves and cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring often until they are lightly browned (be careful—garlic can easily burn). *Skip adding the garlic if you're using Good Ranchers marinated chicken.
4. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the pan and let it cook for around 5 minutes or until the liquid has noticeably reduced.
5. Stir in the cream and add the chicken back to the skillet. Let it cook until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°. Garlic smothered chicken would be amazing served over cardboard, but we suggest rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes as a side.
