Ingredients

Instructions
- In a cast iron or large skillet heat 2 Tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper the chicken breast and season with paprika. Cook chicken breasts 5-8 minutes each side, or until chicken is cooked through.* Set aside.
- Turn heat down to medium. Heat 1 Tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add garlic. Sauté 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Whisk together remaining 2 Tablespoons butter, chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice in pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce is reduced by half (about 5-8 minutes).

Notes
* I flip the chicken breasts multiple times to ensure they do not burn during the cooking time.
