Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ¼ cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. On a cutting board, cut the chicken breasts in half widthwise. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon slices. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, increase the amount of heavy cream or reduce the sauce by simmering it longer.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
