Ingredients
1/2teaspoongarlic powder
1/2teaspoonground pepper
1/4teaspoonsaltplus 1/8 teaspoon, divided
4(4-ounce)chicken cutlets
1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil
1tablespoonunsalted butter
1tablespoonfinely choppedgarlic
1 1/2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
1/2cupdrywhite wine
1 1/4cupswhole milk
1/2cupfinelygrated Parmesan cheese
2tablespoonsslicedfresh basil, plus more for garnish
Directions
Combine garlic powder, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken all over with the seasoning mixture.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165°F, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Wipe the pan clean.

Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour; whisk until combined. Stir in wine until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in milk, allowing the sauce to thicken until it lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Return the chicken to the pan; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in basil. Transfer the chicken to a platter; spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with more basil, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
