Directions
1
Combine lemon juice, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, garlic, chicken bouillon, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix together thoroughly.
2
Combine flour and salt on a small dish. Coat chicken with flour on both sides.
3
Heat butter and remaining olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and serve with lemon slices on top, spooning the broth over the chicken.
