Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Measuring Cup
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Meat mallet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasonings
  • cup flour
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 piece beef bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon better than bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce can substitute Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 10 whole cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep Work

  • Combine the chicken broth, bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme in a large measuring cup and set aside.
  • Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a plate and measure out remaining ingredients prior to beginning.

Cook the Chicken

  • Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.
  • Season each side with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture and tap off excess.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set aside.

Make the Sauce

  • Melt the butter in the skillet over medium/medium-low heat. Add the garlic cloves and let them soften and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the raw flour smell is gone.
  • Add the chicken broth mixture and stir continuously.
  • Stir in the cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet along with any juices from the plate. Spoon the sauce on top, cover partially, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans for a complete meal.
