Carrabba's Champagne Chicken image

I found this on the "Plain Chicken" food blog and it is described as a copycat recipe from Carrabba's. The original recipe included crab meat but this one does not. Serve this savory dish over pasta with crusty bread and crisp salad for a satisfying meal!

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 thin chicken cutlets
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
