Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
Prepare the Breading:
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free bake mix (or almond flour), parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Using a spoon, coat both sides of the chicken cutlets with the breading mixture.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan.
Place the breaded chicken cutlets in the hot oil and cook on both sides, turning frequently, until golden brown and almost cooked through.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Parmesan Sauce:
In a separate frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Stir-fry the crushed garlic until it starts to turn golden.
Add the chicken stock, whipping cream, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and dried cilantro (or parsley).
Cook until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Add the cooked chicken to the sauce.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Make sure to check the chicken to prevent overcooking.
Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley) and serve immediately.
