Equipment

1 large skillet

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts it can be 2-3 chicken breasts based on size
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp turmeric for a milder flavor use 0.5 tsp
0.5 tbsp paprika
0.5 cup flour
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion you need about 1 cup of diced onion, so use a whole onion if it's medium size or half an onion if it's big
15 garlic cloves a whole head of garlic give or take
1 cup chicken stock
1.5 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp dijon mustard
0.5 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cut chicken breasts into cutlets if they're too thick. Season them with garlic salt, paprika and turmeric. Dice the onion and press the garlic, set those aside.
Use a shallow bowl with flour to coat off chicken pieces, dredge off the excess flour.
Place a large skillet on medium heat in the stovetop. Add butter. When butter melts, add seasoned and floured chicken. Brown on one side for about 4-5 minutes then flip and brown on the other side too. Remove chicken from skillet and place on a plate, cover it to keep it warm.
Add olive oil on the skillet. Add diced onion and pressed garlic. You can also just add halved garlic cloves, that's a preference. Saute until onion is soft and translucent, stir often to scrape the base of the skillet.
Slowly add chicken stock and deglaze the pan. As soon as it starts bubbling, lower heat to medium low. Add heavy cream, dijon mustard and parmesan cheese.
Stir constantly until the sauce bubbles and get thicker. Add chicken back into the pan and nestle it in the sauce. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Check for flavor, salt and adjust as needed. Turn heat off, sauce will thicken a little more as it sits.
Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy:)
