Ingredients:
- 3 lemons: 2 lemons cut into 1/4 inch slices, plus zest and 2 Tbsp. * juice from the third lemon

- Add garlic to skillet and cook for 30 seconds; Add wine, and cook until reduced by half (about 1 minute).
- Whisk in remaining flour, and cook until just starting to brown (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1/4 cup broth, whisking until combined; add remaining broth, olives, zest, and lemon juice.
- Return chicken to skillet, and bring liquids to a boil; reduce to simmer and cook until opaque throughout (about 8-10 minutes), turning the chicken once.
- Add roasted lemons and parsley; stir to coat, and serve.
