Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Breast

To start, you'll need to prepare the chicken breast for cooking.

• Gather your ingredients:

  • 250g (0.6 pounds) of chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon of oil

• Season the chicken:

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with black pepper and salt.
  • Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

• Coat the chicken:

  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the wheat flour.
  • Make sure each piece is well-coated in flour for a nice crust during cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken Breast

Now that your chicken is marinated and coated, it's time to cook it.

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet.
• Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce

While the chicken is resting, prepare the garlic butter sauce.

• Gather your sauce ingredients:

  • Butter (amount to taste)
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of wheat flour (for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon of oregano
  • 1/2 cup of chicken stock
  • Juice from half a lemon (about 1 teaspoon)

• Make the sauce:

  • In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Stir in the tablespoon of flour and mix well.
  • Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Add the oregano and lemon juice, mixing until the sauce thickens.

Step 4: Combine Chicken with Sauce

Now it’s time to bring everything together.

• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.
• Coat the chicken evenly with the sauce, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
