Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cups Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups Green beans, trimmed

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a mallet until they are of uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend flavors.

Step 7

Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring water to boil and steam the carrots and green beans until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt.

Step 8

Serve the chicken hot, with the sauce generously spooned over the top, alongside the steamed vegetables.
