  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. Using a mallet, pound down the chicken breasts/thighs into ½ inch thickness so they are easier to cook.

  4. Heat up your oil and add the chicken. Brown on both sides for approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  5. Let sauce simmer for about 8 minutes, making sure to stir often to avoid burning.

  7. Put chicken back in skillet.
  8. Put pan in oven for about 7 minutes, or until chickens internal temp is  165F - careful not to overcook
