Instructions
Using a meat mallet, pound down the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken, and cook until chicken reaches 165 F.
Remove chicken to a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
Whisk broth, white wine, lemon juice, garlic, and shallots into now empty skillet, scraping up any browned bits.

Remove from heat, and whisk in butter and cream.
Return chicken to pan, and spoon sauce over the chicken.

Notes
Chicken breast:
You’ll want thin chicken breasts. If you can’t find chicken breast halves, you can cut a larger chicken breast in half horizontally.
Shallot:
If you can’t find a shallot, substitute ¼ cup finely diced red onion.
