Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp honey

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
2
Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the foam subsides. Add the chicken and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
