2 chicken breasts
Salt & pepper
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic (minced)
½ cup heavy cream (or cooking cream)
Zest + juice of ½ lemon
Optional: grated parmesan, parsley

Season chicken. Sear in oil + butter (medium heat) ~5–6 min per side. Remove.
In the same pan, sauté garlic 30 sec.
