Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.75 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge each chicken breast in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.

Step 7

Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until it has melted into the sauce. Gradually add the heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.

Step 9

Cover and cook for another 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, spooning extra sauce over the chicken.
