Instructions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally. In a large shallow dish, combine the flour with the salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Dredge each breast through the flour to coat, then shake off any excess and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil and butter in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry both sides for a few minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan and add the mushrooms. Fry until they turn golden, then turn the heat down to medium. Add the garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and cream, then add the chives and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the parmesan, then add the lemon juice and season. Simmer for another minute.

Step 5

Add the chicken back in and baste in the sauce. Serve garnished with extra parsley, and enjoy!
