Flour to dust
1 egg, whisked and seasoned
Knob of butter
Sauce

1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tsp honey

1. Dust the chicken breasts with a little flour, dip into the egg and fry in a knob of butter for 2 minutes each side to brown. Remove from the pan.
