Ingredients
Method
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings. Lightly coat chicken with ⅓ cup flour mixed with 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add butter and whole garlic cloves. Cook garlic until caramelized and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over the garlic and stir well to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, beef bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, dried thyme, and mustard powder. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (if using) and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until sauce is creamy and smooth. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer together for 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian seasoning and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking. Use fresh garlic cloves for the best taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve sauce texture.
