Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs, sliced horizontally into thinner cutlets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Meat Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Pat dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the broth has reduced by half.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-shredded.
Tip 2: Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure a beautiful golden-brown crust.
