Preparation Steps
- Marinate the chicken thighs with lemon zest, olive oil, and salt for 10 minutes.
- Dredge the marinated chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
