• 1/2 cup cream

• 1/4 cup chicken stock

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

3. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown on each side. Transfer the chicken to a sheet pan and bake for about 10 minutes until cooked through.
