Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper.
Flatten the chicken with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
Drizzle over the olive oil then season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and allow to sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Finely chop the sage leaves and mince the garlic with a micro plain or a sharp knife.
In the same pan, melt the butter then add the chopped sage and garlic.
Sauté until fragrant then pour in the cream.
Add the lemon juice and season to taste then simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly.
Add the chicken back to the pan and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through) then serve.

I garnished the finished dish with fried sage leaves. This is optional but adds delicious flavor and texture to the dish. Simply fry the sage leaves in the pan in a splash of oil for 30 seconds or until crisp then drain on paper towel.
Boneless chicken thighs can be used too - the cooking time will just need to be adjusted. Similarly, bone-in chicken pieces can also be used but will require longer cooking.
