Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Season the chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each piece in flour, ensuring an even coating.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place chicken cutlets in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add butter and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, letting it thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, adding sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and oregano. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is thickened and chicken is heated through.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Pair with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
