Ingredients
2 lbs Chicken breast, cut into thin cutlets
3 tbsp Butter (salted or unsalted)
1 cup Heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
4 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh herbs (basil or parsley)
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling.
Sear chicken for five minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter to the skillet.
Sauté minced garlic for about sixty seconds until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream, whisking constantly to incorporate browned bits from the pan.
Stir in grated parmesan cheese slowly until the sauce thickens into a velvet consistency.
Return the chicken to the pan and coat thoroughly with the cream sauce.
Finish with fresh chopped herbs before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use freshly grated parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated for the best melting consistency. The chicken must be patted dry to achieve the signature golden sear required for flavor depth. Use a non-stick or well-seasoned stainless steel skillet to prevent sticking.
