Recipe View To serve, transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.

For a richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream at the end.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out.
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook evenly.
Serve immediately over pasta, risotto, or with a side of roasted vegetables.
