Parmesan Crusted Chicken Garlic Sauce (Print Version)

Crispy chicken with a Parmesan crust, served with a rich, velvety garlic cream sauce for the perfect texture and flavor combination.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken and Coating

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
03 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
04 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
06 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Liquid and Frying

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 3 tablespoons butter

→ Sauce

10 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 1 cup heavy cream
12 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
13 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
14 - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
02 - In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
03 - Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then dredge it thoroughly in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
04 - Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
05 - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
06 - Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
07 - Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
08 - Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
09 - Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free dish.
02 - Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the breadcrumb mixture for more flavor.
03 - For a spicy kick, stir a pinch of red pepper flakes into the garlic sauce.
04 - Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
05 - Reheat leftovers in a skillet over low heat, adding extra garlic sauce.
