Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced into even cutlets
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp pepper

Instructions:

  1. Slice the 1.5 lbs chicken breast into even cutlets about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Mix 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper in a shallow bowl.
  3. Press each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then shake off the excess until only a light dust remains.
  4. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat until the oil shimmers.
  5. Lay the chicken in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy.
  6. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  7. Lower heat to medium. Melt 1 tbsp butter, then add 6 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and softened but not brown.
  8. Pour in 0.5 cup chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until all the brown bits are dissolved.
  9. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Let it bubble for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
  10. Stir in 0.5 cup parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp parsley. Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over the top until heated through.
