Ingredients

4 chicken cutlets
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head of garlic cloves separated and peeled
⅔ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup heavy cream warmed to room temperature
Fresh torn basil

Instructions

Whisk the flour, Italian seasoning, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a wide shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets through the flour mixture.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Plate the chicken and cover loosely with an aluminum foil tent.
Reduce the heat to low. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the garlic cloves and cook until golden brown and fragrant.
Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen the brown bits. Stir in the garlic powder and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce and toasted garlic over the chicken.
