Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Rich Garlic Sauce:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the egg, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake the Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
8. Add Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
9. Season the Sauce: Season the garlic sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
10. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the crispy chicken drizzled with the rich garlic sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
