Ingredients

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅔ cup flour
4 tablespoons butter divided
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
½ pound fresh mushrooms sliced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup white wine or additional chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and with the edge of a knife parallel to the board, begin slicing down the length of the breasts. This will create two thinner breasts. Gently pound the breasts evenly to about a ½-inch thickness. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and stir the garlic through the oils.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl and lightly press each side of the chicken into the flour. Brown half of the chicken until golden, about 3 minutes. Repeat the butter, oil, garlic, and chicken step with the remaining chicken.
Place the browned chicken in an oven proof casserole dish. Warm the last 2 tablespoons of butter in the empty skillet and cook the mushrooms until tender. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and white wine and bring to a simmer.
Pour the mushrooms and all liquid over the chicken in the casserole dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
