Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.

5. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.

7. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

9. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

10. Serve the Lemon Butter Chicken hot with your choice of sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Special Tips or Variations:

- For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce just before serving.

- Feel free to customize the dish by adding capers or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.

- Make sure not to overcook the chicken breasts to keep them juicy and tender.

- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
