Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating this amazing dish is straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make Breading: In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
3. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, transfer them to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
4. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Transfer to Oven: Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: While the chicken is baking, use a separate saucepan to prepare the sauce. Sauté minced garlic in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Combine and Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Serve on a plate drizzled with the garlic cream sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.
