One Skillet Chicken with lemon Garlic Cream Sauce

Hello, hello to my new favorite creamy, garlicky, lemony, delicious skillet chicken!

You guys, I’ve gone completely head over heels for today’s meal (I didn’t mean for that to rhyme.

As many of you have probably guessed, I have a love for white meat chicken. It’s no dark meat for me. But the good news is that today’s chicken dinner is customizable to your chicken needs. Boneless skinless chicken thighs, sure, why not! *Applause* you’ve only just waited half of FOREVER for me to bring you something that could be made with something other than boneless skinless chicken breast.

This one skillet chicken recipe is my go to chicken dinner of the week decade. Obvi, this recipe requires just one pan. Which means, we make the chicken and the sauce – that’s right – in just uno skillet-o. We’re talking tender chicken, covered in a lemon garlic butter sauce that’s creamier that anything you’ve had before. Someone, please, throw some capers up in the sauce! This only *just* hit me now, but I’m totally doing it next time, pinky promise.

Should I just stop here? Are you on your way to the kitchen, cuz ya should be!
