2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Steps

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season them with salt and lemon pepper.
Coat the chicken with flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5 minutes per side, until it reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, then add the broth, lemon juice, and sugar to the skillet and simmer for 3 minutes.
Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the butter, and return the chicken with the lemon slices and parsley.
