- 1 Tablespoon Butter

- Add chicken to the pan and cook until golden. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, and chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken onto a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic and italian seasoning to the pan and cook one minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the broth to the pan, bring to a simmer. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan into sauce. Stir in the cream, simmer 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the lemon juice. Add chicken back to pan, coat with sauce.
