Slice chicken breast in half lengthwise, season each piece with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Heat up 1 tablespoon of oil in skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step #2

To the same pan, add more oil. Add minced garlic and shallot and saute until soft and fragrant. Add lemon zest, lemon juice and chicken stock. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon so all of the browned bits from cooking chicken are mixed into the sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes.
