How to Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
1. Season the chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the surface brown properly.
Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the flour lightly over the chicken and rub it across the surface to create a thin, even coating.
The flour helps the chicken develop a golden exterior and also gives the finished sauce a little more body.
2. Heat the skillet
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter.
Allow the butter to melt and begin bubbling, but do not let it burn. The skillet should be hot before you add the chicken.
