Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese shaved or shredded
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Dredge each cutlet in the flour mixture to coat well.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze it.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, then simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the seasonings and return the chicken to the skillet. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, add some smoked paprika to the flour mixture.
This dish pairs well with a side of pasta or a fresh salad.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
