Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2-3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4
• 4 tablespoons of flour (all purpose)
• 4 table spoons of grated fresh parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black cracked pepper

For the Sauce: 

• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1 head of garlic peeled and divided in 10-12 cloves
• 1 1/4 cup half and half or heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup finely grated fresh parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, to serve

Directions:

1. Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder, and pepper
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off excess of mixture
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat (6-7). Swirl the pan to coat it evenly.
4. Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side. Make sure completely cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate and set aside
5. Wipe pan over with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate
6.  Reduce heat to medium (5-6). Saute the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened
7. Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of the knife
8. Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Saute smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce heat.
9. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all the flavors together
10. Mix in in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste
11.  Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak all of the remaining flavors
12. Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper.
13. Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes
