This is the creamy lemon chicken I make when I want big flavor without a lot of fuss. Black Garlic Infused Sea Salt seasons the chicken, Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil brings the sunny citrus, and a splash of Barrel Aged Dark Thick Sweet Balsamic gives the sauce a little richness. Spoon it over everything on your plate.

Ingredients
- 1 Large Chicken Breast
- 2 tsp Black Garlic Infused Sea Salt
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil, divided
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- ¼ cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Tbsp Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend
- ½ cup Half & Half
- 1 Tbsp Barrel Aged Dark Thick Sweet Balsamic
- 2 Tbsp Parsley, chopped, to garnish
Directions
- Butterfly the chicken breast and season generously with 2 tsp Black Garlic Infused Sea Salt. Let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before cooking.
- Zest the lemon and set the zest aside for garnish. Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil to the pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the oil in the pan.
- Heat the remaining 1 tsp of Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth, Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend, half and half, Barrel Aged Dark Thick Sweet Balsamic, and 4 lemon rounds. Stir to combine.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the lemon rounds and plate the chicken with the sauce. Garnish with the lemon zest and parsley. Serve immediately.

I prepared this dish last night and it is delicious. The sauce has a light tomato flavor. The Basil Barrel Aged Balsamic really elevates the recipe.
