On a busy day, this is the perfect recipe for dinner…I’ve shared it with many friends since first discovering it. It came highly recommended on a foodie bulletin board…and it draws raves from everyone with whom I’ve shared it. The original recipe calls for only 3 chicken breasts…and I always double it. You may want to add a box of Wondra flour to your pantry if it isn’t a current staple. This low protein flour adds a light delicate crust to the chicken pieces…and also is great for making lumpless gravy. And this entree is ready in a half hour or less…you will love it!
Chicken with Garlic and Parsley…adapted from Jacques Pepin
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes, then dried with a paper towel
1/4 cup Wondra flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup butter
Lemon wedges, optional
Mix flour, salt and pepper. Toss chicken cubes in flour mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken cubes (may need to do this in two batches), and saute till cooked through and browned on all sides. Add parley and garlic and cook for a couple minutes, till garlic is fragrant. Add butter and toss till butter is melted.
Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

your recipes are NOT helping with my diet! ha ha. I may have to stop looking at your blog until I have lost these last pesky 10lbs of baby weight! Do you happen to know how many calories/grams of fat are in this recipe? I may try to adapt it to make it “low-fat”.
Gosh, Michelle, I wish I did! (I obviously try to stay oblivious to such information
). I think you might be able to cut the butter and olive oil in half and still have a tasty recipe! Please let me know if you try it 
Thanks for the tip about the flour! Looks great!
So easy! Looks so delicious! Totally worth trying
This dish looks so good and flavorful! Chicken paired with garlic, butter, parsley, and lemon is a winner! Thanks for sharing.
Simply gorgeous! LOVE garlic and with parsley and lemon definitely seduces that chicken. Fabulous.
Perfect, I am on a high protein dinner kick. This fits the bill
Love this recipe and love that it’s served up in little bite size pieces.
This is exactly the type of stuff I like to cook during the work week: quick, but full of flavor! Putting this in our rotation for next week…what sides do you like to serve with this?
This is one of our family faves! For a variation, I’ve replaced the parsley and lemon with cilantro and lime. Also yummay!

I can tell this is tender looking at it and the lemon flavor must give it just the right tang… lovely photo~
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. This sounds wonderful and the parsley and lemon are great flavor enhancers. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
I made chicken last night because I was craving some protein. I sure wish I would have waited until today, because this sounds so good. And simple too. I’m going to have to get me some Wondra flour! I have never worked with it.
That chicken with the yellow cake you posted has gotten me hungry. Sometimes un-fancy food just hits the spot.
Quick easy and delicious, can’t ask for more than that! Love your photos, too. Thanks for sharing!
This is the kind of cooking that I just love… Simple and flavorful! I love the size of the pieces and the wonderful browning you’ve have on them… We don’t get Wondra flour here, but I think I’ll try it with plain flour & see how it goes
Thanks for sharing! 
Delightful and beautiful! I love garlic in just about anything (savory that is
). My kind of dish! Thank you!
My oh my I am craving this delicious chicken! I love all the garlic and it looks so juicy:)
This looks like a gorgeous meal Lizzy – your friends arelucky to be invited to share it with you.
What a beautiful dish! I love how simple this recipe is. Beautiful photos too!
Simple and delicious!
This actually looks pretty healthy. The garlic definitely is at least. Love this recipe. Thanks!
I recently saw Wondra flour in the grocery store and wondered what it was… Now, I’m TOTALLY intrigued!
Liz, I love this! Wondra flour is something I have never used, but now I’m going to get it for sure and hopefully give this simple delicious recipe a go.
Mmm, sounds like a very flavorful dish. I can even imagine using this chicken in a wrap or a sandwich.
I love this dish – it looks so simple and fresh! Bonus points because I wouldn’t have to alter it at all for my picky husband. So glad you shared
This is my kind of dish, looks wonderful!
Wow. This looks delish–thanks for sharing. I’ll make it soon!
