1. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner cutlets. Place the chicken pieces between two pieces of plastic wrap (spread them out so there's a gap between each piece), and then use the flat side of a meat mallet to pound the chicken pieces so they're about 1/2" thick.
2. Season both sides of each piece of chicken with salt & pepper and the garlic powder. Coat the chicken pieces in flour.
3. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet. Let the skillet heat up over medium-high heat for a few minutes until it's hot. Cook chicken in two batches. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on the first side and another 2-3 minutes on the second side (ensure chicken is cooked through). For the second batch, add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. The second batch may go a little faster since the pan will be very hot. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
4. To the skillet, add the wine (or broth) and lemon juice. Let it bubble until it's reduced by half, then turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Lemon Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Garlic Cream …

1. Season chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice of half a lemon over each fillet, rubbing it into each fillet. (The next step is optional): Add the flour to a shallow bowl and dredge each fillet in the flour; shake off excess and set aside.
2. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat until butter has melted and pan is hot. Fry the chicken until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer onto a warm plate.
3. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and fry until onion is translucent (about 3 minutes). Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the broth. Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook to reduce down slightly (about 6 minutes). Add in the cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until it begins to thicken. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately).
4. Pour in the lemon juice, allow to simmer gently for a further minute to combine. Stir in the Italian herbs. Add the chicken back into the pan, cover with the sauce and serve over rice, pasta, steamed vegetables or zucchini noodles. Garnish with lemon slices or wedges and parsley.
