Tips
- Chicken cutlets/steaks are available in most supermarkets, but you can slice a chicken breast in half and get the same result.
- When sauteing the garlic, add a little bit of sundried tomatoes oil for more flavor.
- Do not use single/light cream as that won’t thicken the sauce enough.
- I recommend buying a block of parmesan cheese and grating it yourself, as store-bought parmesan cheese doesn’t have much flavor and doesn’t dissolve well in sauces.
