Instructions
For the chicken breasts
Pour the olive oil into the cast iron skillet. Make sure the heat is medium-high.
Once the skillet is hot enough, add the chicken breast. Now, cook each side for around 4 to 5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F.
Transfer them to a plate and set them aside when cooked.
For the creamy lemon sauce
In the same skillet, add onions and garlic, then deglaze the pan with lemon juice and cook for a minute.
Add chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and lemon zest. Then stir in heavy cream and let it thicken and bubble.
Once the sauce is thick enough, add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and heat it through.
Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle some chopped parsley, and garnish with lemon slices.
