Garlic Parmesan Chicken (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 6 garlic cloves, minced.
02 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.
03 - ¼ cup plain flour.
04 - ½ teaspoon coarse salt.
05 - 1 ¼ cups thick cream.
06 - 3 tablespoons butter, split in half.
07 - 2 tablespoons dry sherry (if you'd like).
08 - ¾ cups chicken stock.
09 - Fresh parsley to finish.
10 - ½ cup shredded parmesan.
11 - ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard.
12 - 2 tablespoons olive oil.
13 - 2 boneless chicken breasts.

# Instructions:

01 - Slice each chicken breast into two thinner pieces after patting them dry.
02 - Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then lightly dust with flour.
03 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with oil and cook chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
04 - Heat minced garlic in butter until fragrant, then stir in leftover flour from coating.
05 - Pour in the broth and sherry (if using), followed by cream, mustard, and parmesan. Let it cook until slightly thick.
06 - Pop chicken back into the skillet, simmer for another few minutes, and sprinkle parsley on top before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Bigger chicken pieces hold up better for this dish.
02 - Swap in chicken thighs if you want—cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes.
03 - Sherry can be substituted with marsala or even white wine.
