Ingredients
Method
- Season both sides of the chicken cutlets evenly with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling.
- Add the chicken cutlets to the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced cloves of garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 0.5 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 0.25 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 0.5 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Return the chicken cutlets and accumulated juices to the skillet, spooning sauce over top, and simmer for 2 minutes. Garnish with 0.25 cup of chopped fresh basil before serving.
Notes
To slice cutlets, place a hand flat on top of each breast and cut horizontally through the middle with a sharp knife.
For a thicker sauce, simmer the cream 2 minutes longer before adding the Parmesan.
