Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a warm plate.
3. Lower skillet heat to medium. Melt butter, add minced garlic, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream, scraping up the caramelized browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stir in grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning until cheese melts into a silky sauce.
6. Return chicken cutlets to skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer 2 minutes to heat through.
