Start by making the lemon sauce: Combine the juice of two lemons, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, grated garlic, and paprika into a measuring cup. Slowly whisk in an equal amount of olive oil until well combined. Add in freshly chopped basil. Stir and set aside.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Thinly slice the chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper and Italian seasonings.
Add the chicken to a bowl and pour over the half and half until evenly coated.
Dip the chicken breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides of the chicken.
Heat an oven safe pan on medium with olive oil and butter.
Cook the chicken on each side until golden brown. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked through, as it will finish cooking in the oven). About 3-4 minutes, per side.
Remove the browned chicken and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all of the chicken has been cooked.
Once all the cutlets are browned, add the chicken back into the hot pan, top with sliced lemon and pour the lemon sauce over the chicken. Let bubble for 2 minutes.
Bake in the oven for 12-18 minutes until bubbling and all of the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown.
Keep warm at 200° until ready to serve. Serve and top with the lemon sauce from the pan.
