Instructions

  1. Season the chicken cutlets with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Lightly coat both sides with flour.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.

  3. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.

  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the smashed garlic cloves to the same skillet.

  5. Sauté the garlic for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden.

  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add garlic powder. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

  7. Simmer the sauce for 8–10 minutes, until reduced and thickened by about half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it heat through for 2–3 minutes.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
