- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 clove garlic, minced

Preparation Steps
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over each piece. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
