Ingredients

Preparation Method

1. Prepare chicken by patting it dry and seasoning both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add seasoned chicken cutlets to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cooked through.
4. Lower heat, pour in heavy cream, and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until combined and thickened.
5. Top chicken with shredded mozzarella cheese, cover the skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra twist, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the finished dish to cut through the richness, or serve the chicken over a bed of al dente pasta or mashed potatoes to create a hearty, complete meal. You can also experiment by incorporating a dash of red pepper flakes into the garlic butter sauce if you enjoy a hint of spice. If you prefer an even creamier texture, substitute part of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
