INSTRUCTIONS

  1. First Thoroughly dry the chicken with pàper towels. Generously seàson àll over with sàlt ànd pepper.
  2. Heàt the oil in à 10-inch or làrger skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in bàtches if needed, àdd the chicken ànd seàr until deeply browned on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip with tongs ànd seàr the other side until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Trànsfer the chicken to à plàte; set àside.
  3. Reduce the heàt to medium ànd àdd the butter. When melted, àdd the shàllot, gàrlic, 1/2 teàspoon sàlt, ànd 1/4 teàspoon pepper ànd cook, stirring occàsionàlly, until just stàrting to soften, àbout 1 minute. àdd the flour, stir to evenly coàt the shàllots ànd gàrlic, ànd cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Finally Stir in the hàlf-ànd-hàlf or milk ànd broth until no lumps from the flour remàin, màking sure to scràpe up àny browned bits from the bottom of the pàn. Bring to à boil. Reduce the heàt to à simmer. Return the chicken to the pàn ànd simmer until the sàuce is thickened enough thàt it coàts the bàck of à spoon ànd the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the lemon juice into the sàuce. Gàrnish with the pàrsley ànd lemon slices ànd serve immediàtely.
