  • 3
    Add the remaining olive oil in a large saute pan. Add 2 tbsp of butter. Once hot, add the chicken breast and brown on each side for about 4 minutes each side. Remove to a plate.
  • 4
    Add the remaining butter and add the onion and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Boil 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and parsley. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook covered 10 minutes.
