Instructions

1. 1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

2. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3. 3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

4. 4. Stir in the lemon juice and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

5. 5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the lemon butter sauce over the top.

6. 6. Sprinkle the lemon zest and chopped parsley over the chicken.

7. 7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon slices if desired.

Notes

For a richer sauce, you can use half-and-half or a combination of heavy cream and milk. You can also add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the sauce for extra flavor.
