- chicken broth - 1 cup

Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Slice halfway through the chicken breast to create a crisscross pattern. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook Chicken: In a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Sear the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Make Sauce: In the same pan, add more butter, then garlic, and lightly brown it. Add onions and cook until softened. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and bring to a simmer. Add cream, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Finish Cooking: Return chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Let rest in the sauce for 2 minutes before serving.
