Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning. Dredge each chicken breast lightly in ¼ cup of flour.
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden-brown. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour and cook for a minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth along with ½ cup dry white wine and 1 chicken bouillon cube until smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon honey, ½ teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon each of mustard powder, parsley, and oregano. Cook the sauce for about 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with freshly cracked pepper. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and let everything simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Plate the chicken breasts, spoon extra sauce on top, and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately with sides like pasta, vegetables, or garlic bread.
