In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the breasts, salt and pepper. Fry the meat until deep golden brown, 7-8 minutes on each side. Then place the chicken on a plate.

Pour chicken broth into the pan. Add chopped onion, garlic, thyme and simmer for 2 minutes. If any chicken pieces stick to the bottom of the pan while frying, carefully remove them with a wooden spatula.

Add the potatoes cut into slices and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer for 8 minutes. Pour in lemon juice, cream and chopped lemon. Mix the contents thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over it. Simmer over low heat for 3–5 minutes. Before serving, garnish with thyme.
