Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-seasoned)
– 2 large eggs
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce can be accomplished with the following simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a crispy exterior on the chicken.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Next, coat it with the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, pressing down slightly to adhere.
5. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
8. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Season Sauce: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. For a bit of freshness, add chopped parsley at this stage.
10. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken before serving.
