Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 1/2-inch thickness)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken - Place flour in one shallow bowl. Beat eggs in another bowl. In a third bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the Chicken - Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  3. Cook the Chicken - Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  4. Make the Garlic Sauce - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, then add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve - Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the crispy Parmesan chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pound chicken to even thickness for perfect cooking. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding pan. Can prepare breaded chicken up to a day in advance. Chicken thighs can be substituted - adjust cooking time accordingly.
