Method
Step 1
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add flour to a shallow bowl and lightly coat chicken on both sides with flour. Tap off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tbsp country crock. Once melted, add half of prepared chicken and cook for 3 minutes per side (or until cooked through)*. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken. Tent cooked chicken with tin foil.
Step 3
To the same skillet, add the lemon slices and cook until they begin to brown and caramelize, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pan, then add remaining 2 tbsp country crock. Once melted add onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and add garlic. Cook for one more minute.
Step 4
Raise heat to high and add white wine, scraping to deglaze the pan. Let reduce by half, then add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add reserved chicken and lemon slices. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until chicken is heated through.
Step 5
Add lemon juice and parsley and serve.
Step 6
Cook pasta according to the package directions, toss with 2 tbsp Country Crock, then add chicken and pan sauce on top.
