Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole Chicken breasts Boneless, skinless, halved horizontally
  • 1 head Whole garlic cloves Peeled
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For pan-frying
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth Low-sodium preferred
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream Room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley Finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Ground black pepper Freshly ground
  • 1 lb Russet potatoes Peeled and cubed for mashing
  • 1/2 lb Green beans Trimmed

Instructions
 

  • Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash with a splash of cream and butter; simultaneously steam the green beans until crisp-tender. Set sides aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the poultry with salt and pepper, then pan-fry for 5-6 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the whole peeled cloves and cook slowly for 8-10 minutes until caramelized and soft.
  • Pour in the broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it thicken for 4-5 minutes.
  • Return the pan-fried cutlets to the skillet. Simmer for 2 more minutes to coat the meat in the rich gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside the mashed potatoes and green beans.
