Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts, then slice them into thin strips. Season them generously with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, mix the flour and Parmesan, then dredge the chicken strips in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
Sauté the Chicken
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Build the Sauce
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the finely chopped onion and crushed garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Create the Creamy Base
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful browned bits. Let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half. Lower the heat and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3 minutes.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for about 3 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of rice, pasta, or potatoes.
