Description
Delicious tender chicken coated with a crispy Parmesan crust, served with a rich creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the chicken by patting the breasts dry and pounding them to an even thickness.
- Make the coating by combining Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Prepare the egg wash by whisking the eggs in another bowl.
- Coat the chicken by dipping it into the egg wash and then into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring it sticks.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake the skillet in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, then stir in the heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
- Serve the chicken topped with creamy garlic sauce and garnished with parsley.
Notes
For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat breadcrumbs or baking the chicken instead of frying.
