1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Slice thick chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness.

2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

4. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.

6. Add the butter to the same skillet, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.

7. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top.

9. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken absorbs more flavor.

10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
