Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Tongs
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix.
  3. Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  9. Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken breasts. Garnish with fresh parsley.
