Instructions

Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken cutlets for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes to blend flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Great with pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed veggies.
For a thicker sauce, simmer longer or add a touch of cream cheese.
Can be made keto by skipping starch-based sides.
