Instructions

How to Prepare the Chicken
Add the flour to a shallow pan.
Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the flour. Shake off any excess.
Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets.
Saute until each side is browned and the chicken is mostly cooked through; 4 to 5 minutes. This will depend on how thick your cutlets are.
Once the chicken is browned; remove to a plate and set aside while you prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce.

How to Prepare the Quick Garlic Butter Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the garlic butter and allow to melt.
Then add the chicken broth and scrape up any bits of chicken that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Next add the heavy cream followed by the Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine well.
Add the chicken back to the pan, turning the chicken a few times so they are covered in the sauce.
Lower the heat to simmer and cook a few more minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
