Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half crosswise to produce pieces that are similar in size.
- Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Repeat on other side.
- Remove chicken from pan and cover with foil.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 ½ cups of the chicken broth and the lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits of chicken on the bottom of the pan.
- Return chicken to pan along with any accumulated juices.
- Cover and simmer for 5-7 more minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 Degrees F). Check periodically to make sure the pan isn't getting dry. Add remaining chicken broth, if needed.
- When chicken is done, add the last tablespoon of butter. Gently stir it into the sauce.
- Top with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
