For a richer sauce, try using crème fraîche instead of heavy cream. Add a splash of white wine to the skillet after searing the chicken for extra depth of flavor. Let it reduce slightly before adding the cream. Serve with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables to complete the meal. If you don't have lemon pepper, use freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of lemon zest. To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
