Instructions
Creating Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to achieve a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
6. Sear the Chicken: Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
10. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
