Directions

  1. 1Coat chicken cutlets lightly with oil and season both sides with thyme, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2Set up three bowls for breading: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 3Coat each cutlet by dredging it in flour, then dipping it in egg, and finally coating it in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. 4Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  5. 5Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
  6. 6In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30-60 seconds.
  7. 7Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. 8Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  9. 9Return the cooked chicken to the pan and spoon the lemon butter sauce over the top.
  10. 10Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables, ensuring to pour plenty of the lemon butter sauce over everything.
