Chicken Piccata (Creamy Lemon Parmesan)

4 large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 tbsp Flour (all-purpose)
2 tbsp fresh Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Butter
2 tbsp Garlic, minced
1 can Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Milk
1/3 cup fresh Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
4 tbsp Black Olives, sliced thin
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Water
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Parsley

1) Lightly spray pan/skillet with a light coating of Pam and heat over medium-high heat. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture. Shake off excess and set aside.

2) Heat the 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted and pan is hot. Fry the chicken until golden on each side and cooked through and no longer pink (about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer onto a warm plate.

3) Add the garlic to the oil in the pan (add a little more oil if needed) and fry until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce head to low-medium heat, add the broth and milk. Bring the sauce to a boil; season with salt and pepper to your taste; add in the Parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp olives and allow sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes until thicker. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the center of the pan and combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately.)

4) Pour in the lemon juice, allow to simmer for a further minute to combine. Add the chicken back into the pan to serve, or serve over steamed vegetables, zucchini noodles or cooked pasta with the sauce. Top with extra mushrooms to garnish, add lemon slices and parsley.
