4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Pound chicken to about one half-inch thick pieces, season with salt and pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large, oven-proof skillet and brown each chicken breast over medium heat.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add the onion, saute until soft, about 6-8 minutes.
Add garlic, stir until fragrant.
Add in the broth, lemon juice, butter, and red pepper flakes.
Lower the heat to medium, cook for 8-10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, whisk in cream.
Add the chicken back to the pan.
Cook in oven for additional 5-7 minutes, until chicken is cooked through completely.
