Description

A creamy and flavorful chicken dish featuring tender chicken cutlets coated in a seasoned flour mixture and smothered in a rich garlic parmesan sauce.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken cutlets (or 2 large chicken breasts, halved lengthwise)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken cutlet thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside, keeping it warm.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. If needed, add a small amount of extra oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and let it cook for approximately 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken and reduce slightly.
  8. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce.
  9. Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce, and warm for a few minutes.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this rich, comforting dish!

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese to ensure smooth melting.
  • This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
