Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the thin chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper on both sides and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Coat each cutlet in flour, then egg, and then the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. In a skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  5. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream to the skillet, whisking to combine. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then add the cooked chicken cutlets, spooning sauce over each cutlet. Simmer for a minute.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving and enjoy.
