Combine chicken broth, bouillon, soy sauce, thyme, onion and mustard powders; set aside.
Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a plate.
Slice each breast horizontally to create 2-3 thin slices. Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag or in between plastic wrap; use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound to 1/2 inch thickness. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Dredge each side in the flour mixture; tap off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed; set aside, leaving brown remnants in the skillet. (See notes for key tips for searing chicken.)
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Use a spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pan, loosening up brown bit. Add the garlic cloves; let them soften and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
Add the flour; whisk or 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 cream; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Add chicken back to the skillet along with juices from the plate. Spoon the sauce on top. Cover; cook for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken during this time.
Serve, garnished with parsley.
