## Instructions

1. Coat chicken cutlets lightly with oil and season both sides with thyme, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat each cutlet by dredging it in flour, then dipping it in egg, and finally coating it in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat 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. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
6. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30-60 seconds.
7. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
8. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
9. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and spoon the lemon butter sauce over the top.
10. Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables, ensuring to pour plenty of the lemon butter sauce over everything.
