Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken recipe is as simple (and delicious!) as it gets. Serve these saucy chicken cutlets over pasta or brown rice, or enjoy them on their own with a side of mashed potatoes. Quick-cooking chicken cutlets or thin-cut chicken breasts are key to getting dinner on the table fast. If you can’t find cutlets, pound chicken breasts to 1/3-inch thick with a meat mallet or small sturdy pot, or cut 2 larger breasts in half lengthwise.
