Instructions
Creating Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Set Up Breading Station: Create a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press firmly to ensure the coating sticks.
5. Bake: Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over each piece. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Following these steps will ensure that your Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce turns out perfectly every time!
