Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breasts

• 1/2 tsp of salt

• 1/4 tsp of pepper

• 1 tbsp of olive oil

• 3 tbsp of unsalted butter

• 1 small shallot (an onion is okay too)

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp of all purpose flour

• 1 cup of half and half milk

• 1/2 cup of chicken broth

• Juice of 1 medium lemon

• 2 tbsp of chopped parsley

• 1 small lemon thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Thoroughly dry the chicken breasts with paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the oil on medium high in a skillet big enough to fit the chicken and the gravy. Do this until the oil starts to simmer. Add the chicken breasts until browned on both sides. Takes about 6-7 for both sides to cook. Transfer chicken to a plate.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper and cook until softened. Add in the flour until it's all coated.

4. Stir in the half and half and the chicken broth until a smooth texture forms. Bring the gravy to a boil. Once it reaches the boil, reduce to a simmer and add the chicken back into the skillet. Cook the chicken for another 3-6 minutes in the skillet, and the gravy will start to thicken (use a thermometer to be sure its done). Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
