Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.
Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.
Finish with fresh lemon juice if desired and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a healthier option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables into the sauce for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
