Chicken:
4 thin cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 T. flour
4 T. Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. salt
½ t. pepper
¼ c. olive oil
2 T. butter
Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 head garlic, peeled and clove ends discarded
1 ¼ c. chicken broth
1 c. heavy cream
½ c. Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
2 T. fresh parsley chopped
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken in this mixture to coat completely. Shake off excess.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil and butter. Once butter has melted, add chicken. Cook 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown.
Transfer chicken to a platter; set aside.
Add the chopped onion to the same skillet; cook until translucent, about 5-7 minuts. Add garlic; saute until soft and fragrant. Add a bit of chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Add the heavy cream and remaining broth to the skillet; cook until simmering; reduce heat to medium. Stir often until the sauce has thickened.
Add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce; stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
Return chicken to the skillet along with any juices on the plate. Cook for 2 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken as it cooks.
Serve, sprinkled with chopped parsley and a little more Parmesan cheese.
