This is definitely one of my favorite dishes! It’s perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a date night!
With this recipe you get perfectly tender, golden brown pan seared chicken coated in a quick lemon garlic butter pan sauce. It will have you wanting seconds and maybe even thirds!
I like to serve this over a bed of spinach or with my Garlic & Spinach Orzo- recipe coming soon!
As for my wine, this dish pairs perfectly with Scout & Cellar Clean-Crafted™Che Fico Pinot Grigio. It’s tart and fresh with lemon, underripe peach and a subtle minerality and a refreshing finish. Perfect on a hot summer night!

Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
