Start by making the breading for the chicken in a shallow bowl with 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the flour and stir to combine.

Trim the fat off the chicken breasts and fillet them into thinner pieces for quicker cooking.

Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and set aside on a plate.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides for about 3 to 5 minutes each, avoiding moving them around too much while cooking.

While the chicken is browning, prepare 10 cloves of garlic by cutting off the ends of the bulb and peeling each clove.

Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and place it on a separate plate, draining excess grease from the pan.

Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Add the 10 garlic cloves to the melted butter and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes until the garlic starts to brown.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 3/4 cup of heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Add 3 tablespoons of flour to the skillet with the garlic and cook for a bit to avoid a chalky taste in the sauce.

Slowly add the broth mixture to the skillet while stirring, bringing it to a low boil and scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Once the sauce thickens, add the chicken back to the skillet, submerging it in the sauce, and reduce the heat to low.

Cover the skillet and let it cook until the chicken is cooked through.
