A little bit of tanginess with savory makes this Lemon Garlic Chicken dish an easy and delicious weeknight dinner.

When I am meal planning, there is always at least 1 meal with chicken in it, if not multiple meals. Chicken is a healthy protein option that is so versatile – that, and my kids love it. Because of this, I know the ropes when it comes to choosing chicken at the grocery store. There are many different options to choose from and it can be confusing!

That’s why I was excited when I saw Albertsons now carried air-chilled chicken. But what exactly is air-chilled chicken, you ask? Well, air-chilled chickens are individually processed in cold chambers with purified air. The result is intensely flavored chicken and 100% mouth-watering chicken flavor! No bland chicken flavor here. I’m not joking, either – just ask my picky husband (or as he says, he just has a refined palate)!

The chickens are also fed a proprietary flaxseed diet which boosts the Omega-3’s by up to 350% and lowers cholesterol level of the meat by as much as 40% versus conventional chicken, making it an even healthier protein option. The diet the chickens receive still contains corn and other nutritious vegetables that are needed for a balanced diet.

More O Organics® Air Chilled Chicken facts:

- Individually processed with purified air for 100% more natural flavor
- The chicken meat is higher in highly desirable Omega-3 fatty acids due to a proprietary 100% organic flaxseed-enriched feed (meat contains up to 3x more omega-3s than conventional vegetarian-fed chicken)
- Up to 40% Lower in dietary cholesterol due to a proprietary flaxseed-enriched feed (contains up to 21% less cholesterol (will vary by cut) than conventionally-fed chicken)
- Lower in saturated fat (vs. conventional vegetarian-fed chicken), a fat that many health organizations advise Americans to eat less of
- Cage free and American Humane Association certified
- Naturally moist even when skinless
- O Organics Air Chilled Chicken are fed a 100% organic vegetarian diet

The chicken is so juicy and tender, you can’t go wrong with it any way you cook it. I will definitely make sure to stop by my local Albertsons to pick it up after my weekly meal planning session! For this recipe I decided to sauté the chicken in a skillet, then deglaze the pan and make a lemon garlic sauce. Seriously – so good! It’s tangy, yet savory and so good! Serve over a bed of rice, pasta or quinoa with a simple side veggie and you’re all set!

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a large plastic zip-top bag and pound with a mallet until they are 1/4-inch thick even.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm plate.
Add the minced garlic and shallots to the skillet. Sauté 30-60 seconds. Add in the chicken broth, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, basil, oregano and pepper. Bring to a boil and continue to sauté until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Add in the corn starch + water mixture and stir until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce; spoon the sauce over the chicken. Continue cooking the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley, if desired.
