• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Juice of one lemon
• 1/4 cup heavy cream or half and half

2. 2. In a bowl or a large Ziploc bag, combine, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder. Mix the dry ingredients and add one piece of chicken at a time. Bone-in chicken thighs work great in this recipe, but feel free to use whichever type of chicken you wish. Completely coat the chicken in the dry mixture.

5. 5. Garnish with rosemary, parsley, or thyme if desired. A great way to serve this dish is over quinoa, rice, or even mashed potatoes.
