Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to get thinner cutlets. Over plastic wrap, slightly pound the chicken to even thickness as needed using a meat mallet. This is for even cooking and to tenderize the chicken a bit.
- Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (per chicken cutlet, use about ¼ teaspoon each: Kosher salt, ground black pepper, Italian herb seasoning). Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
- Heat some olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook prepared chicken on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Don't wipe the pan clean. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, then add garlic, and cook until fragrant. Add chicken broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste it, and add the second tablespoon of lemon juice if desired (I ended up adding 2 tablespoons). Bring to a light simmer. Then, stir in heavy cream plus salt and pepper to taste until evenly combined.
- Return chicken to pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for another 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened a bit.
- Serve with lemon slices and freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients and utensils are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and reduce cooking time.
- Season generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to taste. This will help bring out the flavor of the chicken and other ingredients.
- Cook the chicken to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent the chicken from becoming dry or overcooked.
- Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the chicken before serving.
Conclusion:
This creamy lemon herb chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon, herbs, and cream creates a delicious and flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. Serve it over rice, pasta, or your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
