Poultry
- 2 breasts boneless, skinless chicken (about 1.3 lbs. total)
Seasonings
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Other Ingredients
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter divided
- 1 whole garlic bulb (about 8-9 garlic cloves)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
Cooking Instructions
Using a sharp knife, carefully fillet each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets (or use thin-cut chicken breasts).
Season each breast with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Then sprinkle the flour over both sides of the chicken breasts and rub it in until the chicken is evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown and cooked through (about 4 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
While the chicken is cooking, peel the garlic cloves and then carefully smash them with the side of a large chef's knife by pressing down on the side of the knife with the heel of your hand.
Once the chicken is removed, to the same skillet add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, then add the garlic cloves. Turn the heat down to medium-low and sauté the garlic for 3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Make sure to stir the garlic frequently to prevent it from burning.
