Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts in half, season with salt and dredge in flour on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan, brown the chicken cutlets in the hot oil until golden for 5 minutes on each side.  After the chicken has been frying for a couple of minutes add the butter. This will add more flavor and colour to the chicken. You might want to do the frying in batches. Then remove the chicken from the pan and keep it warm in an oven preheated to the lowest temperature while you are making the lemon butter sauce.

Step 3

To the same pan add the minced garlic and let it cook over low heat for 30 seconds, then add the parsley, lemon juice, lemon slices and chicken stock, turn up the heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the sauce until it’s reduced in volume for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce all over.
