Ingredients

• For The Chicken:
• 2-3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4
• 4 tablespoons flour (all purpose or plain)
• 4 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Black cracked pepper

For The Sauce:

• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1 whole head of garlic peeled and divided into 10-12 cloves
• 1 1/4 cup chicken broth (stock)
• 1 1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream (or evaporated milk)
• 1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, to serve

Instructions

1. Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until pan is nearly smoking. Swirl pan to coat evenly. 
4. Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside.
5. Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate.
