3. Gently coat the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.

4. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the butter and oil, swirling together to coat the pan.

5. Place the chicken breasts into the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Flip the chicken and cook the other side, another 3-5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

8. Pour ¼ cup of the chicken stock in the pan and scrape up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan.

9. Add the rest of the stock and the cream and stir.

11. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan and top with sliced lemons.

12. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
