Preparation

Breading and Cooking

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
  3. Stir in heavy cream and ¼ cup grated Parmesan, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Baking
  1. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

Add extra herbs to the breadcrumb mixture for enhanced flavor. Customize the sauce by stirring in spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for added dimension. Serve with garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
