Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 4 cutlets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions:
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound the thickest part with a mallet until the breast is an even thickness of about 3/4 inch.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat each piece of chicken, shaking off the excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and begins to brown.
- Sear chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and use a whisk to scrape up the browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and dried oregano. Simmer gently to thicken.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the meat before garnishing with fresh parsley.
