Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. For more even cooking, lightly pound them to about 1/2 inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and lightly dredge each piece of chicken, shaking off any excess.
In a small bowl, stir 1 tsp of the flour with the water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 20 seconds, stirring constantly so it does not burn.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, and the flour-water mixture, then stir well.
Simmer the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy. Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, or return the chicken to the pan for 30 seconds to reheat and coat. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices before serving.
