Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with olive oil, and one with panko combined with Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the breaded chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Cook until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the crispy chicken before serving.
