First make your sauce by adding the butter & garlic to a medium saucepan set over medium heat. As soon as the butter melts, add the flour and whisk to form a paste. Gradually pour in the milk and whisk until a thickened smooth sauce forms. Add the cream, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir well and leave to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. remove from heat and set aside.
Cut each chicken breast in half. So, you will now have 4 chicken fillets.
In a large skillet set over medium high heat, add the olive oil, garlic and shallots. Let the shallots soften for a few minutes and then add the wine and lemon zest to pan. Increase heat to high and leave to boil for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken breast to the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and serve with the sauce poured over the top.
