Ingredients
Boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced lengthwise into cutlets
Fine sea salt adjusted to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder
Olive oil
Unsalted butter
All purpose flour
Fresh garlic cloves finely minced
Chicken broth
Heavy whipping cream
Finely grated Cabot Parmesan or Tillamook Parmesan
Fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
Pat the chicken dry and season evenly with salt pepper and garlic powder on both sides
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet until hot and shimmering
Place chicken in the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through then transfer to a plate and cover loosely
Reduce heat slightly and add flour and minced garlic to the same skillet stirring constantly until fragrant
Slowly whisk in chicken broth while scraping the bottom of the pan until smooth and slightly reduced
Stir in the cream and allow the sauce to gently simmer until thick and velvety
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan until fully melted
Return the chicken and any resting juices to the skillet and coat with sauce
Finish with fresh parsley and adjust seasoning before serving
Notes
Use an instant read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of one hundred sixty five degrees Fahrenheit
Keep heat moderate when adding cream to prevent the sauce from separating
Grate the cheese finely for a smoother sauce texture
If the sauce thickens too much add a small splash of warm broth or cream
