  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Dip chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coating.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, simmer gently, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Serve the crispy chicken on plates, generously drizzled with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy this flavorful chicken dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, bake the breaded chicken in the oven instead of frying, or do both for maximum crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to preserve crispiness. Reheat sauce separately on the stovetop.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a more flavorful and juicy option. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
