Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
For the dreamy garlic cream sauce, you’ll need:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Mix grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish to create the crust mixture.
- Dip each chicken breast into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
- Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil or brush with melted butter, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- While chicken bakes, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve crispy Parmesan chicken topped with the garlic cream sauce, garnished with parsley. Pair with pasta, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle additional Parmesan or breadcrumbs over the chicken before baking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Add herbs like basil or thyme to the garlic sauce for enhanced flavor.
