Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon as it comes to a simmer.
Add the chicken broth, chopped thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, and let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken warm through for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve the chicken with the wine herb sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
