Instructions
Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce can be quick and easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
2. Coating Mixture: In one wide bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Then, coat it generously with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
5. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
6. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Finish Cooking: Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Following these steps will lead you to a beautifully crispy chicken that’s smothered in an incredibly creamy garlic sauce.
