Chicken with creamy lemon coriander sauce is a delightful dish that combines the bright and tangy flavors of lemon and coriander with the richness of a creamy sauce. Here’s a recipe for you to create this flavorful dish:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Creamy Lemon Coriander Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the chicken. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare the Creamy Lemon Coriander Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
3. Add Lemon and Coriander:
   • Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and ground coriander to the cream. Stir to combine.
   • Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Season and Finish the Sauce:
   • Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
   • If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a splash of chicken broth or water.
5. Serve:
   • Place the cooked chicken breasts on serving plates.
   • Spoon the creamy lemon coriander sauce over the chicken.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh coriander (cilantro).
6. Side Suggestions:
   • This dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, rice, or a light salad.
