A quick and easy weeknight meal featuring golden, Parmesan-crusted chicken cutlets served with a rich, creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thin cutlets)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure coating adheres.
  4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets in a single layer.
  5. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the cutlets.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before dredging to help the coating stick. Do not overcrowd the skillet to allow proper browning. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a splash of chicken broth to loosen it.
