📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2
Coat the Cutlets: Set up three shallow bowls. Place all purpose flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg wash, and finally press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage.

3
Pan Fry to Perfection: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, carefully lay the chicken in the pan. Cook for about 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.

Create the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet (do not wipe clean), melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about ⏱️ 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in heavy cream and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes until it thickens into a velvet sauce.

Combine and Serve: Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, slide the chicken back into the pan. Spoon the sauce over the top to meld the flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
