Combine the chicken broth, bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme; set aside.
Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a platter.
Chicken:
Slice the chicken, creating 2-3 thinner slices. Place it in a gallon freezer bag or in between Saran Wrap. Use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to 1/2 inch thick. Pat completely dry.
Season it with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge each side in the flour mixture, tapping off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed; set aside. Leave brown bits in the skillet. (See notes for key tips for searing chicken.)
Sauce:
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Use a spatula or a fork to scrape up the bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the garlic cloves; let them soften and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
Add the flour; stir with a fork for 1-2 minutes, until raw flour smell is gone and it begins to brown.
Add the chicken broth mixture in splashes, stirring continuously.
Stir in the heavy cream; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Add the chicken back to the skillet along with the juice from the platter. Spoon the sauce on top. Cover; cook 5 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken during this time.
Serve, garnished with parsley. Serve with your favorite sides.
