Prepare the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, mix flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the pan to deglaze. Stir in heavy cream and lemon zest, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve: Enjoy over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal!
