Method
- Combine the chicken broth, bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside.
- Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a plate and measure out remaining ingredients before starting.
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with plastic wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.
- Season each side with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture and tap off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set the chicken aside.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium/medium-low heat. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom of the pot; this adds flavor to the sauce. Add the garlic cloves and let them soften and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the raw flour smell is gone.
- Add the chicken broth mixture (from step 1) in splashes, stirring continuously.
- Stir in the cream. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet along with any juices from the plate. Spoon the sauce on top. Cover partially and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

Notes
If you use smaller chicken breasts, use 3-4 instead of 2 large ones.
Mushrooms are a good addition; sauté them separately and stir them into the sauce at the end.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Leftovers freeze and reheat well.
