Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breasts sliced into thin cutlets
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Lightly dust the chicken cutlets with flour on both sides, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
