Flatten the chicken breasts by placing them in a ziplock bag and pounding to ½-inch thickness.

Season the chicken with salt, garlic granules, black pepper, and all-purpose flour, rubbing to coat evenly.

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook the seasoned chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through, then set aside.

In the same skillet, add more butter and sauté minced onion until softened.

Add minced garlic and chili flakes, sautéing until fragrant.

Pour in chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer, then add lemon juice, salt, oregano, and black pepper.

Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 5-6 minutes.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and garnish with chopped coriander, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
