Instructions

1. Slice chicken in half lengthwise to make 2 to 3 thinner pieces. Pound to ½ inch thick.

2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and parsley.

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side. Set aside.

5. Add garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until reduced by half.

6. Add butter and flour, stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

7. Slowly add sauce mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 8 minutes.

8. Lower heat, stir in Parmesan cheese a little at a time until melted. Add lemon juice.

9. Return chicken to skillet and simmer 5 minutes until heated through. Garnish and serve.

Notes

Grate Parmesan from a block for best texture and flavor.

Use a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or substitute chicken broth if preferred.

Add a few drops of Gravy Master for a deeper sauce color if desired.

Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables.
