Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits, then stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for a few hours before cooking.
Serve this dish over pasta or rice to soak up the creamy sauce.
Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier alternative to chicken breasts.
