Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 boneless chicken breasts (large, skinless, halved horizontally to make 4)
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (finely grated, fresh)
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (cracked)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 whole head of garlic (peeled and divided into 10–12 cloves)
- 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (finely grated, fresh)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season: Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
- Coat: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
- Heat: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry: Fry chicken breasts until golden on each side and cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate.
- Repeat: Wipe pan and repeat with remaining oil, butter, and chicken breasts. Transfer to plate.
- Sauté: Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices until softened.
- Garlic: Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of a knife.
- Deglaze: Add remaining oil and butter. Sauté smashed and whole garlic cloves until fragrant. Add broth to deglaze and simmer until reduced by half.
- Cream: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Cheese: Mix in parmesan cheese. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer: Add the chicken back into the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Finish: Garnish with parsley and black cracked pepper.
Notes
You can use heavy cream, whipping cream or thickened cream in the sauce. For a lightened up sauce, use evaporated milk or half and half.
