Ingrédients

600g / 1.2lb chicken breasts (2 large) (Note 1)

1/2 tsp cooking salt (kosher salt)

1/4 tsp Black pepper

1/4 cup flour (plain / all-purpose)

40g / 3 tbsp butter (, unsalted)

1 - 2 garlic clove, minced

1 1/4 cups chicken broth/stock

3/4 cup cream (, heavy/thickened (Note 2)

3 - 4 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste, start with 3 tbsp)

2 tsp Dijon mustard

3/4 cup parmesan cheese (, freshly grated OR store bought finely shredded (Note 3)

Pasta of choice (I used linguine)

Finely chopped parsley

Instructions

Crispy Chicken

Slice chicken breast horizontally to create two thin steaks (so you end up with 4 thin steaks in total).

Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then coat with flour, shaking off excess.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken 2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy, then remove onto plate.

Sauce

Add a touch of butter if your pan is dry - but you shouldn't need it. Add garlic, stir 10 seconds.

Then add chicken broth, cream, lemon and Dijon mustard. Bring to simmer and scrape the bottom of the pan to dissolve brown bits into the liquid. Use a whisk if needed to dissolve mustard.

Add parmesan then simmer rapidly for 3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Add salt, pepper and adjust lemon to taste.

Return the chicken to the pan (pour in any juices on the plate too), turn to coat.

Place chicken on serving plates with pasta or mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Spoon over Lemon Sauce and serve! (Bread for mopping wouldn't go astray either)
