Low Carb Living ~ Lemon Chicken


Busy helping my daughter this week with the new baby. I have managed to make some of my go-to, quick low-carb meals. This one is one of my favorites. Our local grocery had Meyer Lemons which are such a wonderful treat (and make me miss CA and the lovely little tree I had in my yard there). A delicious supper with some asparagus on the side!


Low-Carb Lemon Chicken
(Printable Version)

4 boneless skinless chicken breast fillets
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c white wine
2 Tbsp butter
2 small lemons sliced into rounds

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes each side. Remove from skillet and cover. Deglaze skillet with white wine, scrapping up all the bits remaining from the chicken on the skillet. Reduce to 1/2 the amount. Add lemon slices and butter. 1 Tbsp at a time, whisking until melted. add chicken and any juices back to the pan and turn to coat evenly with the sauce. Serves 4.

  3. How exciting to be there with your daughter and that precious baby...
    this meal looks great. Haven't had meat in 19 days, so I could almost eat that piece of chicken right off of the computer..

  13. Hello Gail,

    I picked up some Meyer Lemons (I had never had them before) at the grocery store last week and then found your recipe :) I made it this evening and it was delicious! The only thing I did different was use fresh minced garlic instead of the garlic powder.

    Thanks for sharing your yummy recipes! Have a blessed day in the Lord tomorrow!
