Chicken

 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb / 680g), halved horizontally
 1 tsp Italian seasoning
 ¾ tsp salt, divided
 ½ tsp black pepper
 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
 1 tbsp olive oil
 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

 2 tbsp unsalted butter
 6 garlic, minced
 ½ cup chicken broth (120ml)
 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
 ¾ cup freshly grated parmesan (75g)
 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1

Prep the chicken. Pound the chicken cutlets to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season with Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper, then dust lightly with flour.

2

Sear. Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and 165°F inside. Transfer to a plate.

3

Cook the garlic. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter and cook the garlic 1 minute, until fragrant.

4

Deglaze. Pour in the broth and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the cream and simmer 3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

5

Add parmesan. Lower the heat and stir in the parmesan and remaining 1/4 tsp salt until smooth.

6

Finish. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan. Spoon the sauce over and simmer 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
