  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves minced garlic
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is an enjoyable process when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Coating: In one bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

5. Transfer to Oven: Once the chicken is browned, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by adding minced garlic to the skillet used for the chicken. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and place it on servings plates. Drizzle the dreamy garlic cream sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
