🍋 Creamy Lemon Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Veggies

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 thinly sliced chicken breasts
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp lemon pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp rotisserie chicken seasoning
• 1 tbsp roasted garlic paste (or fresh garlic)
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Creamy Lemon Sauce:

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

For the Veggies:

• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
• ½ tsp lemon pepper

🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine chicken breast slices with garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, rotisserie chicken seasoning, roasted garlic paste, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

2. Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from pan and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Lemon Sauce

In the same pan, add unsalted butter. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add lemon juice, parsley, and heavy cream. Stir in garlic powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese.

Simmer the sauce on low until it thickens — it should coat the back of a spoon.

4. Sauté the Veggies

In a separate skillet, heat olive oil and toss in the broccoli and asparagus.
Season with lemon pepper and garlic parmesan seasoning, drizzle a bit more olive oil, and splash in the water.
Cover the pan and steam on low heat until the veggies are tender but still crisp.

5. Assemble

Pour the creamy lemon sauce over the cooked chicken, plate with veggies on the side, and serve hot. 😍
