Instructions
Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep Chicken: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
2. Season Flour: In one shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper to season.
3. Prepare Eggs: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
4. Mix Breadcrumbs: In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour first, shaking off any excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
6. Heat Oil: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
7. Sear Chicken: Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
8. Finish Cooking: Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Make Sauce: While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic cream sauce. In a small saucepan, sauté minced garlic over low heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Allow it to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, thickening the sauce.
10. Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Plate the chicken and drizzle the dreamy garlic cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for an extra touch.
