Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and season with pepper to taste. Lightly dredge in flour.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp of the butter and 1 tsp of the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through; about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3. Add the remaining 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, chicken broth and lemon juice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid reduces by half, 2-3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook, spooning the sauce over the chicken, 1 more minute. Top with basil and serve.
