Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge in flour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.
  3. Pour in the dry white wine and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add butter and Herbs de Provence to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, mixing well. Return the chicken to the skillet and let simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
  6. Season to taste, serve over buttered noodles or with roasted vegetables. Garnish with parsley before serving.
