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) 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. Prepare the breading station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Next, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Place on baking sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
6. Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
7. Prepare the creamy garlic sauce: While the chicken is baking, heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
8. Make the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and impressive meal that is sure to delight everyone at the table.
