Ingredients
½ cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups canned fat-free chicken broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, optional
Directions
In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper, and oregano. Coat each chicken piece with mixture; set aside. In a skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, heat oil and cook chicken breasts on each side until golden brown over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from pan as needed to brown all pieces. Add chicken broth, garlic, and lemon juice to pan, scraping sides of pan. Return chicken to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Sprinkle with parsley, if not neutropenic, and serve.
