Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1½ pounds each)
  • ¼ cup (40 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons (90 g) unsalted butter (divided)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon (divided into 4 wedges for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix evenly.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts to make 4 even-sized pieces. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the chicken stock.
  5. Add the remaining butter and whisk until it melts, creating a silky sauce.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over it, and simmer briefly. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Pat meat dry before dredging for an even crust. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
