Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cups Chicken broth
- 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter and oil are hot and bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate the browned bits.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the parsley over the top and garnish with lemon slices if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as pasta, vegetables, or a green salad.
