Ingredients

• 4 chickens breast cutlets , 5 ounce
• 1.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.75 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic
• 0.75 cups chicken broth
• 0.75 cups heavy cream

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Pat chicken dry on a large plate using paper towels; season all sides of chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

3. 3

   Place flour on a separate large plate. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat chicken with flour, shake off excess, and return to original plate. Discard any leftover flour.

4. 4

   Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken; cook until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 3 to 4 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed to control browning. Transfer chicken to a large, clean plate; cover with aluminum foil and keep warm.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to low and add garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds.

6. 6

   Stir in broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, and onion powder, scraping to dissolve any browned bits on bottom of pan; bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes.

7. 7

   Stir in basil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then return chicken and any juices to skillet, stirring sauce to help incorporate drippings.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with basil and lemon slices.
