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
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups lemon juice
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 piece lemon, sliced for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet to pound them to approximately 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt and mingle with the oil.

Step 4

Carefully place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 8

Before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and garnish with lemon slices.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or pasta.
