4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts1 cup grated Parmesan cheese1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works best!)2 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper2 large eggs1/4 cup all-purpose flour1 tablespoon olive oil1 cup heavy cream2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and beat them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until even in thickness.In three shallow dishes, set up your breading station:In the first dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper.In the second dish, whisk the eggs until frothy.In the third dish, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, garlic powder, and more salt and pepper.Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.Place the breaded chicken in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/75°C).While the chicken bakes, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat (do not boil).Add minced garlic to the cream and simmer for about 3-4 minutes.Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add red pepper flakes if desired.For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the sauce until thickened.Once the chicken is done, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over it and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. - Prep Time: 20 minutes
