Season the thin boneless chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Dredge the seasoned chicken breasts in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to coat them.

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

Add the dredged chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them.

Cook the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F.

Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Add 4 teaspoons of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant.

If using, pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and cook until reduced by half.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour into the skillet and whisk to combine, cooking for about a minute to eliminate the flour taste.

Add 3/4 cup of chicken broth to the skillet and whisk until smooth and silky.

Pour in 3/4 cup of heavy cream and stir to combine.

Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano.

Add 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and smooth.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.
