Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is straightforward with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch).
3. Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Dip each chicken breast first into the eggs, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Chicken: Once all the chicken is on the baking sheet, bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet (after removing the chicken), add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Combine and Serve: Once the chicken is done baking, place each piece on a plate and drizzle generously with the dreamy garlic cream sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch.
