  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.3 lbs total)

– 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 2 tablespoons butter, divided

– 1 whole garlic bulb (about 8-9 cloves)

– 1 cup chicken broth

– 3/4 cup heavy cream

– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1-First, slice each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets or opt for thin-cut ones to ensure even cooking.

2-Next, season theіст chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then coat both sides evenly with flour for a golden crust.

3-Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter, and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until it’s golden and cooked through remove it and keep it warm to lock in those juices.

4-Once the chicken is set aside, peel the garlic cloves and lightly smash them for better flavor release.

5-Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and sautΓ© the garlic over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until it’s lightly browned and fragrant, stirring often to avoid burning.

6-Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add garlic powder and stir while scraping those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

7-Simmer the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens by about half, then adjust salt and pepper to taste.

8-Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and heat through for a few minutes.

9-Finally, serve it optionally garnished with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
