Instructions
Creating Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Whisk the Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat in the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken to enhance crispiness.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
9. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
10. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
11. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
12. Season the Sauce: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
13. Combine: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
14. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
