Preparation
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. This step ensures that your chicken breasts are well-seasoned and full of flavor.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown. This initial searing locks in the juices and gives the chicken a lovely texture.
Cooking the Chicken Breasts
After searing, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and place them on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and an additional tablespoon of butter. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.
Pour in the lemon juice, chicken broth (or water), and milk cream. Season the sauce with nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
Creating the Garlic and Lemon Sauce
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken breasts simmer in the creamy garlic and lemon sauce for 25 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb all the delightful flavors.
Bringing It All Together
Once the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection, they should be tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the creamy garlic and lemon sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.
