Season four chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Add vegetable oil to a medium-hot skillet. Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken. Cook until each side is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 160°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely tent it with aluminum foil, allowing it to rest.
Make the lemon garlic pan sauce. Add minced shallot to the same skillet and cook over medium heat until softened. Add flour, whisking continuously, and cook for about 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. While simmering, scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the browned bits. Continue to simmer rapidly until the sauce has reduced to approximately ¾ cup. Stir in any juice that has accumulated on the plate the chicken is resting on. Bring the sauce back to a simmer and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat, and whisk in the lemon juice and Signature butter. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
