To make this scrumptious Parmesan Crusted Chicken With Creamy Garlic Sauce, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
These ingredients are easy to find, and I often have them in my pantry. Cooking should be accessible and fun, even for busy families!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and pound chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bread the chicken by dipping each breast in flour, then egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, cook the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter, sauté minced garlic, add heavy cream, and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chicken drizzled with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve with a side of veggies or salad for a complete meal.
