Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken to the pan. Cook chicken for a few minutes on each side, flipping only once, until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
Make Sauce: Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pan over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from cooking the chicken. Add bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Mix in flour. Whisk in chicken broth. Bring sauce to a simmer. Stir in cream, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Simmer until just slightly thickened.
