heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Wash chicken breasts thoroughly with water, salt, and lemon, then pat dry.

Make incisions in the chicken breasts without cutting all the way through.

Sprinkle salt on both sides of the chicken breasts.

In a bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, all-purpose seasoning, black pepper, chicken bouillon, ground chili, and paprika to create a dry rub.

Rub the spice mix evenly over the chicken, including into the incisions.

Let the chicken marinate for about 1-2 hours.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Infuse the oil with a sprig of rosemary and 1 clove of garlic.

Place the chicken in the skillet, incisions facing down, and press down with a spatula to create a crust.

Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and 95% done, then flip it over.

Add about 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet.

Remove the garlic clove and add 1/4 cup of chopped yellow onions to the skillet, cooking until translucent.
