Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/3 cup whipping cream

Directions

1

Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in flour; season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.

In a skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, for about 6 minutes or until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
3

Remove from the pan and keep warm.
4

Pour off all the fat from the pan.

Pour in the wine and bring to a boil over high heat; cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits in the pan, for about 1 minute or until reduced and syrupy.
6

Add the cream; boil for about 1 minute or until thick enough to coat a spoon.
7

Stir in the dill, chives, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
8

Stir any accumulated juices from the chicken back into the pan; pour the sauce over the chicken.

Garnish with lemon slices and dill sprigs.
