Garlic Parmesan Chicken Cutlets

Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken cutlets (thinly sliced chicken breast)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (15 minutes): Pat the chicken cutlets dry, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.

2. 2

   Cook (about 10 minutes): Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cutlets and pan-sear until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Cook (about 10 minutes): Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet; once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds.

4. 4

   Finish (about 5 minutes): Stir in Parmesan and lemon juice (if using) until glossy. Return cutlets to the skillet and spoon the garlic-Parmesan butter over them for 1–2 minutes to coat and warm through. Serve immediately.
