Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner pieces. Season them generously on both sides with salt & pepper and the garlic powder.
  • Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, and let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
  • Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes/side or until it's nicely seared and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent it with foil to keep it warm (turn off the heat while doing this step).
  • Turn the heat back on to medium-high and sprinkle in the flour and garlic to the skillet. Let it cook for about a minute or so, stirring often.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and whisk it until the flour has dissolved and the liquid has reduced by half.
  • Stir in the cream and let it bubble gently for a few minutes until it's thickened to your desired consistency. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the parmesan until it has melted into the sauce.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon some sauce over top. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and sprinkle the parsley over top.

Notes

I highly recommend using an instant read thermometer to test when the chicken is done (165F). It can go from undercooked to overcooked very fast.
