- Butter
- Heavy Cream - you could use half and half, but using heavy cream really helps to thicken the sauce.
- Parmesan Cheese
- Dijon Mustard
- Chicken Broth
Cooking Tip: Don't throw away the Parmesan cheese rinds! Save them to use for soups, chili, or add to homemade tomato sauce as it simmers on the stove. There's plenty of flavor in the rind.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
Once the chicken is completely cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside for a few minutes while you prepare the Sauce for Chicken Cutlet.
Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Scrape up the bits and pieces that's left in the pan from the chicken cooking. Those will add flavor to the sauce.
Stir in the chicken broth and allow it to combine with the butter. Then add in the heavy cream. Once everything has combined and is slightly thickened, add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 2: Allow the Sauce to Simmer
Turn the heat down to low and allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it's nice and thick.
Step 3: Add the Chicken Back
Finally, add the cooked chicken back to the pan and allow it to simmer in the sauce until you're ready to serve.
Step 4: Garnish with Fresh Parsley
Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and a little freshly chopped parsley. The chicken is ready to be plated. Spoon a little more of the sauce on top right before serving.

If for some reason, the sauce does not thicken, you can make a slurry with either flour or corn starch mixed with a little water. Stir it directly into the sauce and allow it to boil to aid in thickening.
