Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 or almond flour
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
- 3 tbsp crushed garlic
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp dried cilantro or parsley
- 2 tsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets.
- In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free bake mix (or almond flour), Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
- Spoon the breading mixture over both sides of the chicken cutlets, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with olive oil. Add the chicken cutlets and cook, turning frequently, until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In a separate frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the crushed garlic and stir-fry until golden.
- Pour in the chicken stock, whipping cream, Mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to melt the cheeses and blend everything together.
- Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the sauce. Let them simmer for 1-2 minutes, just until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook.
- Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
