Description
Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Rich Garlic Sauce is a delicious and satisfying dish featuring breaded chicken breasts topped with a creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic sauce.
- Substitute the chicken with eggplant slices for a delicious vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
