1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any brown bits off the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Sprinkle in the thyme and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
Plate the chicken, drizzling the creamy lemon garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
