Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off the excess.

Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes.
