Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper, then let them rest for about 10 minutes.

In a skillet, heat olive oil, then pan-fry the cutlets until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
In the same skillet, sauté garlic in butter, then add chicken broth and simmer briefly.
Pour in heavy cream and Parmesan, and stir until the sauce thickens, then season with salt and pepper.
