Ingredients

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

Start by cutting the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets.

Generously season each cutlet with salt and pepper.

After seasoning, coat the chicken cutlets evenly in flour.

This will help to create a nice crust when you sauté them.

Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, sauté the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are nice and golden brown.

Once cooked, take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.

Reduce the heat to medium (or even medium-low if using a cast iron skillet).

Add the rest of the butter to the pan and let it melt completely.

Add the garlic cloves to the melted butter, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until they are lightly browned on the outside.

This will infuse the butter with a rich garlic flavor.

Pour the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder into the pan.

Let the mixture bubble and reduce for about 4 minutes, or until the liquid is noticeably reduced.

This step will concentrate the flavors and create a base for the creamy sauce.

Stir in the cream, combining it with the reduced sauce.

Add the chicken cutlets back into the pan, ensuring they are coated with the sauce.

Let everything cook together for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce is reduced, creamy, and the chicken is cooked through completely.

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a burst of freshness and color.
