  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise for 4 thin cutlets)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Flour, for dredging

Sauce and Cooking Fat

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise so you have four thin cutlets. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge each piece thoroughly in flour to create a light coating.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot and fats are melted, place the chicken cutlets in the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce: Into the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream. Use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the pan’s surface; these add flavor and richness to the sauce.
  4. Add Spices: Whisk in smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  5. Finish Cooking: Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet and simmer in the cream sauce for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Plate the chicken and spoon the creamy, spiced sauce over it. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top if using, and serve immediately for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature chicken to ensure even cooking.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, thin it out with a splash of milk or chicken broth.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
