Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¾ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1¾ cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half to create thinner cutlets. Pound to ½-inch thickness and season with salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
- Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes. Stir in butter and flour; cook briefly before adding the sauce mixture.

- Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Heat through for about 5 minutes before serving.
