Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions:

6. In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Carefully pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
8. Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce thickens.
9. Place the chicken back into the skillet to coat with the sauce.
