Step 1

Use a paper towel to pat the chicken breasts completely dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté onion and garlic until tender, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in flour and cook until smooth, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add broth and heavy cream. Mix well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer until thickened to a desired consistency, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add paprika, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet. Toss well to coat and cook until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.
