How to Make Chicken Breasts Deglazed With Lime
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Gently shake off any excess flour.
- Add chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the chicken breasts using tongs.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Remove chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Add 1/4 cup water, the zest and juice of 1/2 a lime (start with half, add more to taste), and the zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon (start with half, add more to taste) to the skillet.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer the sauce for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it slightly thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the delicious lime sauce generously over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.
