Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these uncomplicated steps to create Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce:

1. Set Up Breading Station: Begin by organizing your breading area. Set out three shallow bowls — one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.

2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This initial step enhances the flavor and prepares them for the upcoming layers.

3. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs before coating it thoroughly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.

4. Heat Butter: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until bubbly.

5. Cook Chicken: Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

7. Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

8. Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. If desired, add freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

9. Combine: Return the crispy chicken to the skillet, turning it gently to coat in the dreamy garlic cream sauce.

10. Serve Immediately: This dish is best served piping hot. Plate the chicken and drizzle extra sauce over the top.
