Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole Chicken breast Boneless, skinless, cut in half horizontally
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For searing
  • 1 head Garlic Peeled
  • 1 cup Chicken broth Low sodium preferred
  • 0.5 cup Heavy cream For the rich gravy
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 1 tbsp Flour All-purpose
  • 2 tbsp Parsley Freshly chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt Kosher
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground
  • 4 cups Mashed potatoes For serving
  • 12 oz Green beans Steamed, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add whole peeled garlic cloves and cook until caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Simmer until slightly reduced.
  • Stir in heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm alongside mashed potatoes and steamed green beans.
