  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs (about 11/2 pounds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone or 4 ounces cream cheese,softened
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:
  • Collect all your ingredients in one place.
  • Mix together 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and flour in a shallow dish.
  • Season chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper, then coat it evenly in the flour mixture.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in two batches and sear until golden brown on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Infuse skillet with the aromatic flavor of garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant.
